23.7 and 19.8 percent means that It still is like 20% more losses overall . 40% average is critical. Dont ever think one can rebuild a 50 hives or more overnight, that is not the case.
Beekeepers who responded to the survey .... the chart makes it clear that losses are uneven, depending on the state, so the average is 40%... hence your short sighted conclusion, in some states the losses were SEVERE. Up to 60% and more.
Here is something more rational

Says YOUR government data. It is interesting how you can accept government data, and NOT accept government data at the same time. It must be an interesting place inside that twisted mind of yours.
Once again, bees are not dying off according to government data that you are happy to accept.
you do not even understand what is wrong with DARPA owning the internet. You do not understand that collusion is conspiracy.
I SAID I PICKED THE WRONG ARTICLE ... GO FOR A 200 MILE RIDE AND THEN CHECK YOU WINDSHIELD... DIRECT EXPERIENCE... INSECTS DIE-OFF CONFIRMED. AND YOU KNOW IT. I AM SURE YOU NOTICED AS YOU ARE OLDER THAN 50 YEARS OF AGE.
