Pollination Biologist Susan Chan will present an “Introduction to the Native Pollinators of Ontario”at the fall meeting. Susan, a beekeeper since the early 1980s has been practising ecological beekeeping for the past 5 years and has managed to weather the present storm of environmental and disease challenges to the health of honeybees with losses similar to the provincial average.
Susan Chan holds a B.Sc (Agriculture) from McGill, a M.Sc in Pollination Biology from the University of Guelph, and a B.Ed. from the University of Western Ontario. This formal academic training coincides with her life-long commitment to integrating principles of environmental sustainability and respect for the natural world to the fields of agriculture and education.
