Same problem here in ohio.   Honey production was off, and the fall flows
were non existent  (3 weeks of the heaviest robbing I've ever seen and even
italian queens stopped laying).  Most losses I've seen were from starvation
and most of them could have been saved If i had realized it and fed them
2-3 weeks earlier than I did this year.  I expect some huge losses from
those who didn't feed in the fall and haven't started feeding yet in our area.
