- The Peace River District and the remaining areas of the Prairie Provinces are the heart of Canada’s honey producing industry, and in 2009 produced 85 % of the total honey crop, 40% in Alberta alone. In 2009, the 6,728 beekeepers in Canada operated 576,000 colonies with more than 69% of these hives located on the prairies. The Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists reported the following winter loss figures in 2008 BC-38%, AB 44%, SK 26%, MB 28%, ON 33%, QC 19%, NB 29 %, NS 18%, PEI 36%. Retrieved from http://www.honeycouncil.ca/index.php/honey_industry_overview March 15 , 2011.
- Secondary components of the vision include: i) Complementing ongoing honey bee research and knowledge dissemination ; and ii) a robust collaboration between the Centre for Research & Innovation (CRI, a GPRC-PREDA partnership); Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada (Beaverlodge Research Farm); and active partnerships with industry, government and community stakeholders. 2. Goals and Objectives a. To establish a National Centre providing a wide range of honey bee diagnostic services for pests, pathogens and parasites using advanced scientific techniques to serve Canadian beekeeping industry. b. To provide a National Centre that will partner with governments, universities and colleges in Canada and abroad to collaboratively participate in honey bee research. c. To improve bee health in Canada by the provision of accurate and timely data to provincial extension and regulatory specialists. d. To provide surveillance data to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to exclude or allow the importation of foreign bee stocks in support of the needs of the Canadian beekeeping industry. e. To improve and develop new detection methods for bee pathogens and parasites. f. To position Canadian bee industry as a leader in area-wide disease and pest management. The new and innovative National Bee Diagnostic Service will become a one-stop-shop for all bee diagnostic services required by beekeepers, Government departments and researchers from all across Canada. Recent winter mortality has been the highest on record. This will be done on a fee-for-service basis starting at cost (cash costs) increasing over time towards a cost recovery basis. Procedures for remote collecting, packaging, shipping, receiving, tracking, diagnosis, reporting, invoicing and payment will need to be prepared based on existing best practices. Appropriate documents (electronic/ paper based) will need to be developed consistent with GPRC-AAFC and funding partner brands.
- A National Bee Diagnostics Centre will also provide surveillance and diagnostics to scientifically support risk assessments for the importation of foreign honey bee stock, or Canada‘s desire to export stock to the world. In particular, the importation of honey bee stock is critical to the ongoing survival of Canada‘s honey bee industry. Without scientific diagnostic support, our access to offshore honey bee stock may be threatened. A national bee diagnostic service will provide the following benefits to Canadian Honey Industry: - Prevention/reduction of future winter losses; including reduced queen losses – this will result in increased production of honey. - Increased knowledge regarding distribution and bee‘s pest, pathogens and parasites. - Enhanced standard of honey bee health to benefit pollination of key agricultural commodities such as oilseeds, forages and fruit and berry crops. - Provide scientific support for importation and exportation of bees to serve the interests of Canadian producers. - Position Canada as a leader in the detection and treatment of honey bee diseases. - Employment and training of highly qualified personnel and training of post-secondary students – both academic and vocational.
- One clear result of these projects is that increased losses are not caused by a single factor, but are the result of many compounding stressors that collectively weaken bees. Among these stressors are pests ( e.g. Varroa mites), parasites ( Nosema apis, Nosema ceranae ) as well as an array known and newly-discovered honey bee virus. Key to being able to understand how diseases, pests and pathogens kill bees is the ability to detect these maladies using modern and appropriate diagnostic tools. Many of these tools involve the use of molecular biology techniques (i.e. those techniques that detect sequences of an organism’s DNA).
