1 year agoI grew up with and into the internet, most things came naturally and where not that mind blowing. I’ve been looking forward to ML/AI and its currently blowing my mind that it actually works so well as a programming “assist”.
The USA can take this large losses, they have relative few hives and can easily import bees if needed.
IIRC there are 2 million hives in the USA with 100 Million managed hives world wide. A lot of the 2 million hives in the USA are managed by big commercial beekeepers (1000+ hives) and I doubt a lot of them take the survey. While I’ve heard about higher winter losses from commercial beekeepers I doubt they are this high.
I work with/for a european commercial beekeeper and we had low winter losses ~3%. While the hobby beekepers had a record high loss according to the national survey ~30%.
