  abstract = {{O}ver the last quarter century, increasing honey bee colony losses motivated standardized large?scale surveys of managed honey bees ({A}pis mellifera), particularly in {E}urope and the {U}nited {S}tates. {H}ere we present the first large?scale standardized survey of colony losses of managed honey bees and stingless bees across {L}atin {A}merica. {O}verall, 1736 beekeepers and 165 meliponiculturists participated in the 2?year survey (2016-2017 and 2017-2018). {O}n average, 30.4% of honey bee colonies and 39.6% of stingless bee colonies were lost per year across the region. {S}ummer losses were higher than winter losses in stingless bees (30.9% and 22.2%, respectively) but not in honey bees (18.8% and 20.6%, respectively). {C}olony loss increased with operation size during the summer in both honey bees and stingless bees and decreased with operation size during the winter in stingless bees. {F}urthermore, losses differed significantly between countries and across years for both beekeepers and meliponiculturists. {O}verall, winter losses of honey bee colonies in {L}atin {A}merica (20.6%) position this region between {E}urope (12.5%) and the {U}nited {S}tates (40.4%). {T}hese results highlight the magnitude of bee colony losses occurring in the region and suggest difficulties in maintaining overall colony health and economic survival for beekeepers and meliponiculturists.},
