The Ontario Beekeepers Association has paid its dues and is
back into membership in the Canadian Honey Council.
Officials say differences were resolved after several
meetings, but declined to say what the issues were.

seed-treatment pesticides was one of them.
Ontario beekeepers pushed for a ban and advised members to
join a lawsuit against neonicitinoids launched by a couple of outspoken
beekeeper critics.
