My last Winters loss was around 60%, it's great that new beekeepers are joining but the numbers sound off.

Tell it like it is , Blake. Thanks for all you do! Enjoy your videos-you have helped me a lot with my small 30 hives.

They must have ask a small sideliner that then went to 30,000 hives. A few of those and you're at a million new hives pretty fast.

hello did you say you run over 30,000 hives, how the heck do you keep up with them,,

[@gallowaylights]

Over 2 million colonies are started each year, but sadly, less than half survive the following year. Is this a better news story title?😮

So, were the surveys from different years done at different times?
