I suggest strongly that you do, because I spoke yesterday to the Ontario Beekeepers Association about this. They are the ones who are reporting the bee losses.
Remember, the bees are the livestock of the insect world, so we can count them, but all the other insects we don't count as effectively. Without really expensive and complicated studies, we can't make exact determinations of what is happening. Those studies are being done in places.
But we know that there are significant losses in Ontario for beekeepers and that those losses continued last year. There wasn't the same dramatic kind of immediate death, but there were deaths in the last three years in mid-July, long after the planting session. The PMRA on its website says it doesn't have an explanation for the mid-July losses.
