Supporting Alberta’s Beekeepers during COVID-19

Edmonton, Alberta - Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada - In response to the recent challenges faced by Alberta’s beekeepers, Agriculture and Forestry is introducing a new Canadian Agricultural Partnership program.
 
The program will include up to $1 million to help beekeepers offset the costs of increased colony replacements due to COVID-19. The program, available this summer, will be retroactive to cover issues faced in spring 2020.
 
The COVID-19 pandemic has made importing colony replacements from usual, more affordable sources like New Zealand and Australia more difficult.
 
Program details are still in development; however, producers are encouraged to subscribe to Alberta’s Canadian Agricultural Partnership site for more information as it becomes available.
