Good morning, everyone. Welcome to meeting number 80 of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food. In our orders of day pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are continuing with our study of losses in honeybee colonies.
Joining us today for the first hour, we have: from the Canadian Honey Council, Rod Scarlett, executive director; from Day of the Honey Bee, Clinton Ekdahl, founder; and from Munro Honey and Munro's Meadery, Davis Bryans, president.
Rod, I'll ask you to start. Then we'll just move down the row, and then go to questions from our members.
Please begin. Welcome.
