One thing that I did in my past life was have honeybees. I thought that was a good venture to get into, and I went back into farming and my son worked with me. We worked at it hard for two or three years and we enjoyed it. We never made any money, but we really enjoyed it and learned a lot. I've been stung more than once, that's for sure.
One of the other things I did was I was a chemical applicator. One thing I did when I was applying chemicals, especially pesticides, was to make sure I knew where the bee yards were and that I had a good relationship with the honey producers in the region I'd be spraying in, so that we looked at the best options for application times, for example. In some cases, some of the guys would even go through the process of maybe keeping the hives in during the morning, for example, or in the evenings, just to prevent that.
Do you have that type of program here in Ontario, Mr. Bryans? I know when I took my applicator's licence, there was a section in our applicator's course about recognizing where the apiaries are and working with the honeybee producers.
