A press release from the State Service of Ukraine Food Safety and Consumer Protection stated that Volodymyr Lapa—the head of the Service—met with representatives of beekeeper’s associations from both Ukraine and Canada.
Ukrainian associations were represented by the community organization “All-Ukrainian Brotherhood of Ukrainian Beekeepers” headed by Tetyana Vasylkivska, the chairman of the organization. The Canadians were, on their side, represented by George Scott, the president of one of the largest associations of the Niagara region.
The plan is to export Carpathian bees from Ukraine in order to save Canadian bees from extinction.
“What an amazing news. George Scott and Tetyana Vasylkivska have made public their joint efforts to help save the population of bees in Canada with the help of Carpathian bees,” wrote the Ambassador of Canada in Ukraine, Roman Waschuk, on his Twitter account.

A partner of Ukrainian beekeepers will be the Canadian project Niagara Beeway.
The bee's brain is oval in shape and only about the size of a sesame seed (https://t.co/WNZHx9QCUv), yet it has the capacity to learn and remember things and is able to make complex calculations on distance travelled and foraging efficiency. pic.twitter.com/7n2iv83DUK
