I hear that it's been out there for 10 years. It's not happening in Australia, it's not happening in South America, and I understand that it's not a major problem in western Canada. Yet, we saw the drama unfold last year, as Ruth described.
I'm concerned about two more things, if you can talk about them.
First, the real efforts to discuss this with the apiarists, between the pesticide industry and the beekeepers—how much communication has gone on?
Second, with regard to the application of other innovations, and I am talking about the technology used to apply.... I don't mean applying the polymers to the seed. I'm talking about the equipment that's used to keep the dust down. What effort is being made there to accommodate, to the degree that we can, the beekeepers? With the knowledge that farmers do care, and that they are applying the measures that they're expected to apply to reduce the risk, what effort is being made in that regard?
