Sharon Labchuk is a longtime environmental activist and part-time organic beekeeper from Prince Edward Island. She has twice run for a seat in Ottawa’s House of Commons, making strong showings around 5% for Canada’s fledgling Green Party. She is also leader of the provincial wing of her party. In a widely circulated email, she wrote:

They also haul the hives by truck all over the place to make more money with pollination services, which stresses the colonies.”

It was a cloudy day with intermittent sunshine, I only got to inspect about half the hive before the threat of rain interrupted us. … bees “honey bees” “bee hive” hive “hive inspection” beekeeping “organic …
