Ontario Beekeepers Get Provincial Support

Premier Kathleen Wynne is thanking the Ontario Bee Health Working Group for their report into the risk honey bees face from pesticide use.

Wynne adds that the province is working with the Federal Government when it comes to the use of pesticides.

Barry Tabor from the Thunder Bay Beekeepers Association says 1.2-million dollars in funding from the province is a good start.

Tabor says he would of liked to see more attention given to bee keepers instead of growers, in the bee health working group's report.
