That would speak to what I have heard from everyone about this sense that we need some research into specifically what is happening with our bee industry and the kill rate. Of course, when we see these wild swings in temperature in the early season, what kind of impact that has on hives and bees in particular, if they come out, and then we get back into a...? We went back into a frost situation in Niagara where it went down to minus seven about 10 days later. There's an impact that has on a hive that thinks it's getting ready to start a season, and the season looks like it went back into winter.
I would ask you, Mr. Scarlett, as well as any others on the panel, what type of research would you like to see get done specifically around hives when it comes to not only this sense of whether it be CCD, or whether it be a poison from a pesticide, or indeed this climactic change where we're seeing with these wild fluctuations? Is there anything you would specifically like to see research done on that is non-binding, in the sense that it's not by a corporation who simply says, I'm doing it to make a dollar? I actually want to see research that talks about what the impacts are, and what perhaps are some solutions.
I will start with Mr. Scarlett, and perhaps work across the panel.
