Ontario Beekeepers’ Association (OBA)

Questions to ask the County:

1. How do I opt out of spraying? Will opting out protect me from potential drift if my neighbour gets sprayed? Will there be a sign posted before and after spraying?

2. These pesticides aren’t registered for use on parks and lawns, so why are they being used on our roadsides where some people walk their dogs?

3. How much money is being allocated for education about wild parsnip?

4. I don’t see anyone walking in the ditches, so why is there a health risk?

6. We have a pollinator crisis. Native bees nest in the soil. Has this product been tested on them in the field?

See our sample letter under Take Action.
