Alfalfa Weevil Threat Belts Ontario Beekeeping
A Department of Agriculture spokesman warns that controlling the alfalfa weevil in Ontario will severely damage bee populations, jeopardizing pollination across the province. The pest, detected in Niagara Peninsula in 1967 after serious damage in Pennsylvania and New York, threatens widespread alfalfa cultivation used for livestock feed. Experts forecast beekeeping may become a hobby within 15 years due to insecticide harm, while 5,000 bee colonies move into Niagara annually for pollination from as far as 150 miles away.
