- pyre 9y agoThe percentage of colonies that don't survive the winter.
- jly 9y agoYes, per-capita rates are tricky with honeybees since they adjust their hive numbers significantly during the year and slim down for winter and potential summer nectar dearth. Measuring colony survival is what is really important.
