Sweet news for local beekeepers!
The federal and provincial governments are investing more than $1.3 million to support beekeeper operations in Ontario.
The province says the initiative will help beekeepers maintain healthy honey bee colonies and support them to grow their number of colonies.
Agriculture Minister Lisa Thompson says the government will work with beekeepers to address sector challenges, explore new markets and ensure the sector remains competitive.
The government will fund equipment purchases or modifications of equipment that prevent the spread of disease and analysis work to support best management practices.
