Bee colony overwintering losses dropped to 38 % in Ontario last year, down from the highest-ever recorded losses in 2013-2014, according to the OMAFRA apiary program.
Beekeepers themselves did not finger pesticides, including the soon-to-be heavily-restricted neonicotinoid-treated seeds, as the most common bee killer.
Well it is back to school for everyone that custom plants corn/beans or sells seed corn/beans this winter with a day course to get certified. Gotta keep creating those government jobs folks under the guise of "save the pollinators".
