>The 15% that survived, were they concentrated in a few yards or were they
generally spread out over the entire group? What I'm getting at, were
there particular procedures done that allowed these colonies to survive
when all the others didn't?
Not sure, but in general, those who practice better bee husbandry and keep
mite levels down experience high survival rates.
