While small in size, honey bees are big players on the southern Alberta agriculture scene. Seventy percent of honey bee colonies in Canada are located on the Prairies, with almost one-third of Canada’s honey produced right here in Alberta.
In addition to honey and hive products, bees render valuable pollination services to producers of orchard fruits, berries, vegetables, forage, and the production of hybrid canola seed. Despite their importance, the apiculture industry continues to face challenges to the health and number of bee colonies, resulting in cascading consequences both locally and globally.
