Reported is a bit confused about CCD but otherwise an interesting read.

Also, the reporter lumps Maine bees in with the commercial pollinators now
on blueberries who seem to have great bees with losses about 11%. That is
consistent with my data which has local Maine commercial operators about
10-15% losses while the hobby beekeeper run over 30-40% losses.

All gets down to good management (my opinion).
