Currently, Bee Maid Honey is comprised of beekeepers only in western Canada. The primary advantage to this strategy would be the increased economies of scale Bee Maid could acquire, especially given the strong growth in exports to the United

Bee Behavior Bees are flying insects that perform an important role in pollination of plants, as well as the production of honey and beeswax. There are over 20,000 species of bees in nine families, but classified as Anthophila. Bees are found in every continent except Antarctica, and have adapted for the feeding on nectar and pollen as a high-level energy source, with pollen being used as food for larvae in the

The Georgetown Phase I study was only able to find nine suitable patients with MS who had sufficiently stable types of the illness to make conducting a research study worthwhile. Even then, four patients had to drop out of the study because of the effects of their disease or because of possible intensified progression of the disease. While three of the remaining five reported improvements in their condition, or 60

Management Plan for Honey BeesIntroduction: Background on Target SpeciesThe Honey Bee, scientifically known as Apis mellifera, is a species important in ecosystems and human agriculture because of its role in pollination in North American agriculture. Interestingly, honey bees are not native to the continent. They were introduced by European settlers and have since established themselves throughout the continent. Currently, honey bees have a global presence, mainly in areas where humans

Some beekeepers use a combination of pesticides. Studies have confirmed traces of fluvalinate concentrations in honey and wax samples obtained from colonies that were treated with two strips of Apistan. [Gatien, 2003] Besides these In-hive chemicals, bees are also affected by the agricultural pesticides when they feed on the pollens. Though these pesticides undergo a rigorous testing phase before they are made commercially available, the risk factors for Non-target ecosystems
