Hi Bob and All

The Ontario Beekeeping Association are hosting a session with the PMRA 
(pest management section of Health Canada), to explain the results of  
tests done last spring in corn areas during seeding when several bee  
deaths were reported.  I am attending the session on Oct 10 hoping to  
hear that some action has been taken but expecting bafflegab.  I am  
not near corn but am concerned about pollinator health.
