USDA Proposes Higher Indemnity for Beekeepers Losses
The Agriculture Department proposes higher flat-rate indemnities for bees killed or damaged by pesticides near colonies. Proposals include 22.50 per destroyed colony, 115 for severely damaged, 5.30 for moderately damaged, and 5.50 per queen nucleus. Changes remove net-loss basis, limit multiple yearly losses, and require inspector certification that pesticides caused the loss. Comments are invited.
