Hi Randy

I spent time last week with a Calif sideline beekeeper (Serge Labesque) who
keeps about 50 colonies. He's used absolutely no treatments for quite a few
years. He keeps detailed records. His overwinter losses have been from
0-5% over the last several years.

I am wondering if there are particular factors that set him apart from other beekeepers, such as relative isolation, management approach, climate, ???
