Word that Thunder Bay’s bee population might have mites is creating a buzz in the city’s beekeeping community. Val Forrest has a hobby bee farm and sells the excess honey. She is upset upset the City which was mite free may have been contaminated. Forrest says for mites to reach Thunder Bay someone here had to buy a Queen or bee from another area that was already contaminated. Forrest says if she discovers her hives have mites she’ll just get out of the bee business.
