Programs that protect honey bees and other pollinators

In Ontario, we're working to support healthy, thriving populations of managed honey bees as well as other pollinators that in turn support a strong, successful agri-food sector and a healthy environment.

The Ontario government supports pollinator health through:

• the Apiary Inspection Program
• a financial program to assist beekeepers experiencing high levels of bee hive losses
• regulation limiting the use of neonicotinoid-treated seed
