Ontario registered beekeepers surveillance

This dataset contains data the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs tracks as part of disease monitoring to ensure healthy bee population, including inspection results of bee yards of registered beekeepers including pests, disease and colony health findings, permits and orders issued.

To help safeguard the health of the honey bee population, beekeeping in Ontario is regulated by the Bees Act. The provincial apiarist and apiary inspectors appointed under the act inspect for presence of honey bee diseases and pests, abnormal bee losses and issue permits to beekeepers.
