I would like to know what is the general loss this past winter, compared to
> the winter of 2004 (average of 50% nationally). 


Went into winter 2005 with 6 came out with 2.  Surviving 2 were on 3 deeps.  Losses attributed to starvation due to unsually warm winter in west central Ohio.  Surviving 2 are very strong.  2004 lost 5 out of 6 due to mites.
