OBA & CAPA Winterloss Reports

Recently, the Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists (CAPA) released a preliminary report on the reported winterloss percentages across Canada. 

The report shows that Ontario, with early reported information, is showing a winterloss of 17%. British Columbia seems to have experienced higher losses with an initial report of 32% with the Canadian average currently sitting around 23%.

The OBA recently closed the internal winterloss survey as well. While we don't have the specific percentages to report on, a range of data is requested to get a picture of how Ontario is doing. 43% of respondents had less than 20% loss over the winter.
