This week there were two major conference calls created to discuss efforts to help pollinators. One was hosted by Cornell, the other EPA. Did Cornell’s efforts to host a discussion about IPM and pollinators help? Was EPA’s stakeholder’s listening session fruitful? Will these efforts help beekeepers protect honeybees during next year’s pollination?
In Canada, there is also quite a stir in Ontario. What is the new controversy surrounding Ontario beekeepers? What is going on with the class action law suit filed by the Ontario Bee Association against Bayer and Syngenta?
In this special series called “The Neonicotinoid View”, host June Stoyer and special guest co-host, Colorado beekeeper, Tom Theobald, discuss these issues and will be joined by Tibor Szabo, the incoming President of the Ontario Beekeeper’s Association. Stay tuned!
