A couple of interesting maps from the studies carried out for
the European Commission certainly throw up more questions than answers.
Why should the UK suffer nearly 30% winter losses in the
winter of 2012/2013 when in the same winter France only recorded losses of
14.2%, Germany 13.3% but Belgium an astounding 32.4%?
From my own perspective anything around 15% could be
considered normal with colonies that are not heavily manipulated.
Anyway, here are the maps and also a link to the document and
other downloads.
