Ontario Trying to Save Honey Bees

 Beekeepers, farmers, scientists and government representatives are working together to save the honey bee.
   
The Ontario government is putting together a committee to find a solution to declining bee populations.
   
A pesticide called neonicotinoid, used for corn and soybeans has been attributed to the deaths of millions of bees in the province.
   
According to the Canadian Honey Council, over the last three years Canada's bee population has dropped by 35 per cent.
