Canada: Canadian Bee Industry Receives Government Support to Recover from 2022 Honey Bee Losses

Following significant honey bee colony losses in 2022, a number of provinces and the Government of Canada have announced funding availability to beekeepers, through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Program to offset costs of losses and replacements. Honey bee losses, along with limited availability of and high costs of replacements, resulted in adverse impacts to pollination, and consequently yield, for a number of commodities in 2022. Canada opened access for imports of packaged bees from Ukraine and Italy in Spring 2023.
