>  what is the general loss this past winter, compared to
>the winter of 2004

Zach,
In 2004, I lost 12% of my colonies.
In 2005, with 60% of my colonies checked, I've lost 7%. I've also lost 7% 
of my 4 frame nucs and 15% of my mating nucs. What is alive seems quite 
strong for the beginning of April.
Mike
