Beekeeping is unpredictable, but protection shouldn't be. Production Insurance gives beekeepers the confidence to invest and grow their operation, knowing they are covered if they experience losses.
Bee health coverage is designed specifically for beekeeping operations and the uncontrollable risks they face, like fluctuating weather, disease, and pests. And to make the program accessible, premiums are cost-shared with the government, reducing the financial burden on beekeepers.
What's new?
Bee health coverage has been updated, starting with the 2025 program year. Developed in collaboration with the Ontario Beekeepers' Association and the government, the updates make coverage more tailored to individual beekeeping operations.
Highlights include:
Custom coverage levels: Coverage is now based on a beekeeper's unique colony survival rate, providing more accurate and personalized protection.
Historical colony survival rate: The coverage level is determined by a beekeeper's average colony survival rate over the past 5 to 10 years
Premiums tailored to your coverage level: Premium rates are now tailored to the specific coverage level calculated for an operation. This allows for much more customized and precise coverage.
