As pointed out by others, this was a common treatment in the U.S., until
residues in honey caused the regulatory folks to stop use of the drug in
beehives.

As Allen points out, if the drug is put in open water for livestock or elk,
the bees could certainly pick it up.

What other uses are there for this drug in the open environment in Canada?

Question -- does Canada routinely survey for sulfa in honey?  I'm surprised
that it was 'detected'.
