Lindsay conference will focus on plight of bees

The number of beekeepers in the The Central Ontario Beekeepers Association has shot up from 20 to almost 300 in the span of a few years. New and experienced beekeepers will look into the health of bee colonies, and the affects of pesticides on bees this weekend at the COBA conference in Lindsay. Ian Hartford, President COBA says even evaluation of honey itself, right down to it’s taste, is part of the research.
