I am glad to see that some attention is being paid to beekeeper responsibility in this:
> Communication and cooperation among growers, seeders and beekeepers on the timing of seeding and the location of hives can help reduce the risk of bee incidents. Such communication can enable beekeepers to confirm that hives are located upwind of the planting field or in shelter belts, and have access to clean water sources. It can also permit beekeepers to temporarily protect or relocate hives where this is feasible.
