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.
