Beekeepers call for import ban on non-North American bees as deadly mite spreads
NegativeWorld Affairs

- Canadian beekeepers are urging the government of Ottawa to impose a ban on the importation of bees from outside North America. This call comes as a response to the alarming spread of a parasitic mite that poses a significant threat to bee populations and, consequently, the agricultural ecosystem dependent on these pollinators.
- The implications of this development are profound, as the health of bee colonies is crucial for pollination and food production. A ban on non-North American bees could help protect local bee populations from the devastating effects of the mite, ensuring the sustainability of beekeeping and agriculture in Canada.
