Hi Paul,
You mentioned correlations in your data showing "Warrée hive users open their
hives much less frequently than other hive types" and that "there is a
correlation between how long you have kept bees and how many hives you have"
Do you have tabular data or a scatter plot showing? If you give me the data
I'll plot it for you. I enjoy data visualisation.
Thanks
Will

Hi,
last May I asked members to fill in a survey, primarily to see how many
colonies had perished over that winter, and incidentally gathering other
information.
Here are the results. My apologies for taking 9 months to do my homework. I
learned some lessons about how not to structure surveys for rapid analysis!
Hopefully the results will fill in some gaps in your bee lore, make you Think
and stimulate debate. Unlike most beekeeping opinions, these results are based
on hard data across a range of apiaries / bees / conditions in our area, not
anecdotal evidence and confirmation bias. Please shout out if you think I got
something wrong but remember these are the results for last winter, not the one
we're going through now.
I may do another survey around April / May this year. Or not.
Paul
