On  May  8, 2013 in Ottawa the  Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz today announced the release of a national biosecurity standard designed to protect bees from pests and disease. The standard offers a consistent national approach to biosecurity and is applicable to bee operations of all types and sizes. "Protecting bee health is important to safeguarding the bee industry and the Canadian agricultural industries that depend on it," said Minister Ritz. "The value of the honey and bee products industry is substantial, and many other valuable crops are reliant on pollination by bees. Canada has seen rapid growth in pollination-dependent crops such as fruits and vegetables. In fact, approximately $2 billion in agricultural products rely on bees." "Healthy bees contribute to a healthy economy," said Minister Ritz.
