This article has been circulating for a while, summarizing the latest BIP data on colony losses. Thought this forum might allow some beekeeper discussion of it. Do we think this annual "doom and gloom" reporting on BIP's colony loss survey data is useful, or does it sow pointless confusion among non-beekeepers?
