Nationally, bee deaths remain high, at about 23%, according to the new USDA report (with help from pesticide-maker Monsanto). The death rate for the most recent winter, October 2013 through April 2014, was better than the 30.5 percent loss reported for the winter of 2012-2013, but worse than the 21.9 percent in 2011-2012, the report said. Previous surveys found total colony losses averaged 29.6 percent over the last eight-year span. reuters/article/2014/05/15/usda-honeybees-report-idUSL1N0O021B20140515
