Ontario Beekeepers  New Antibiotic Rules & VCPR Explained

New regulations mean antibiotics for bees aren’t over-the-counter anymore. Starting Spring 2019, you’ll need a veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) for access. Prepare your OMAFRA registration, colony count, production practices, and a written SOP to establish this with a vet. Don’t wait until an outbreak—get ahead of the paperwork now to protect your hives. #Beekeeping #OntarioAg #BeeHealth #ApiaryManagement #FoulbroodPrep #honeybees #valleybeekeeping
