researchers at the University of Guelph, Department of Food, Agricultural and
Resource Economics and colleagues at the University of British Columbia’s
Department of Food and Resource Economics are conducting a study on how
production decisions, pollination, queen breeding, and preventative practices
affect both economic performance of beekeepers and colony losses. <B>The
primary goal of the study will be to provide beekeepers with information on
production portfolios and practices that help increase profits from their
operations while maintaining healthy bees.</B></SPAN></SPAN></P>
