The goal of the Alberta Apiculture research program is to ensure the continued health of bees and sustainable pollination services in Alberta. We have two apiculture research sites – The Lethbridge Research and Development Centre, Lethbridge, and the Crop Diversification Centre North, Edmonton.
We conduct research on:
- Integrated pest management for bee parasites and pathogens
- Development of pest control options for apiculture
- Impacts of pesticides on bees
- Quality and safety of honey
- Honey bee management and nutrition
- Honey bee breeding and selection
- Crop pollination, particularly canola
- The behaviour and management of commercially operated bees
