NB Agriculture Website is Updated, Better for Beekeepers

Posted: 17 Dec 2010 10:10 AM PST

The New Brunswick Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries has launched a major update to its website. Beyond a clean new look, the revised website makes it easier to find information published by the department, including forms and regulations. For beekeepers, there is a separate page all about bees, which serves as a “one-stop shop” for beekeeping information.

So far, in addition to information about alfalfa leafcutter bees and the native bumblebees that pollinate blueberries, and sidebar links to NBDAAF programs, agricultural research, events and maps, the Bees page on the government website contains:

  • a link to the beekeeper registration form that all New Brunswick beekeepers are required by law to complete each year;
  • information on evaluating, managing and protecting honeybee hives; and
  • under the Integrated Pest Management heading , information on the control of varroa mites.

Visitors can enter the main NBDAAF website at http://www.gnb.ca/0027/index-e.asp, the Agriculture division at http://www.gnb.ca/0027/Agr/index-e.asp, or the dedicated section on bees at http://www.gnb.ca/0027/Agr/0013/index-e.asp.

NB Agriculture Website is Updated, Better for Beekeepers was written and published by the Central Beekeepers Alliance - Honey Bees & Beekeeping in New Brunswick, Canada. For more information, please visit http://cba.stonehavenlife.com.
