Tariffs Sting Canadian Honey Industry as Bees Suffer

A severe year for bees in Canada has taken a turn for the worse due to President Trump's tariffs, which have hit Alberta, the country's honey belt. The province produces 40 percent of Canada's honey.

This year, rain and the trade war have combined to threaten the industry. Foreign workers who tend to beehives are also in short supply, exacerbating the issue.

The consequences of this perfect storm could be severe for beekeepers and the wider economy.
