QUEEN OF THE HAVE-NOT HIVE CONFERS CASH!
Ontario preparing bee loss compensation
If you're big enough and registered enough, you're given a competitive advantage.
Hmmm. I wonder about the bureaucratic/regulatory cost of...
Eligible beekeepers must report over a 40 per cent loss of bee hive inventory as set out in the 2014 certificate of registration issued by the provincial apiarist.
Applicants must sign an “attestation” that they’ve followed proper beekeeping practices and that the bee deaths in question “were not caused by wildlife damage, vandalism, intentional death or negligence.”
Applicant beekeepers must also have an Agricorp identification number and Premises Identification Number.
Good luck with big government lads. Before long, you'll pine for the good ol'days where it was just you and the flowers and the bees.

Sniff...sniff...I smell the Ontario government trying to smoke out the money from cash sales of honey by beekeepers at farmers markets/farm gate.
ReplyDeleteDoes the hive numbers jive with the honey sales reported? and there's that friggin' premise ID number crap again to qualify for the program....
Step right up! Sign right here to reserve your spot for your early hangin'!
ReplyDeletewhen they sing about the birds and the bees they must be talking turkeys
