  • Canadian Bee Journey
    ECTD_051 TITLE: A Canadian bee journey SOURCE: Bee World 47: 55-65, 132-148 DATE: 1966 Reprinted from Bee World 41 : 55-65, 132-148 (1966) 55 CANADIAN BEE JOURNEY by EVA CRANE Bee Research Association, Hill House, Chalfont St. Peter, Gerrards Cross, Bucks., England 1. INTRODUCTION Three earlier visits to Canada from the United States (1954, 1957, 1964) had shown me that Canada ranks among the most progressive honey-producing countries of the world. It is also one of the most productive, on the basis of the honey yield per colony, and consistently shares with Australia the first world place for national average yield*. I had seen beekeeping in small sections of Ontario and British Columbia, and heard sporadic accounts of what was going on elsewhere; but Canada is 3 200 miles across and 2 900 miles from north to south [5 300, 4 800 km.], and I met very few Canadians who had seen the more remote areas. One such area, Peace River, seemed to be an El Dorado as far as beekeeping was concerned, but I had been able to get very little first-hand information about it. I was therefore very pleased to receive an invitation from the bee­ keepers of Canada to travel through their country from coast to coast in June 1965, when beekeeping activity would be at its height. I covered about 5 000 miles by road (and many more by air) attended a number of beekeepers' meetings and took part in various other programmes, and visited nearly all the scientific institutes where bee research is being done.

ZooKeys 897: 49–66. https:// doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.897.46344 Abstract The Haliplidae, Gyrinidae, and Dytiscidae (Coleoptera) of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada were surveyed during the years 2006–2007. A total of 2027 individuals from 85 species was collected from 94 different localities, which brings to 87 the number of species recorded for this locality. Among these, Heterosternuta allegheniana (Matta & Wolfe), H. wickhami (Zaitzev), Hydroporus appalachius Sherman, H. gossei Larson & Roughley, H. nigellus Mannerheim, H. puberulus LeConte, Ilybius picipes (Kirby), and I. wasastjernae (C.R. Sahlberg) are reported for the first time in Nova Scotia. The Nearctic component of the fauna is made up of 71 species (81.6%), the Holarctic component of 16 species (18.4%). Most species are characteristic of both the Boreal and Atlantic Maritime Ecozones and have a transcontinental distribution but 19 species (21.8%), which are generally recognized as species with eastern affinities.
