Riverbee's Loss count
« on: April 08, 2018, 05:22:49 pm »
Riverbee is asking who lost how many hives everyone has lost.  I wonder if she's going to calculate the percentages for the forum.

I hope she does the math right.

For example, if you had five hives going into Winter, and came out of winter with only four hives, then you would have suffered a 14% loss.

Don't believe me?  Just as Ma and Pa:

Don't argue with me about proper math.  Others have used this technique with great success.

For example, did you know that if Perry were to add 7 new hives to his apiary each week, he would have 28 new colonies at the end of 13 weeks?

Don't believe me?  Just ask my good friend, Costello:
