Iowa Ag Secretary Mike Naig visited the Sioux Honey Association in Sioux City Monday to meet with industry leaders and tour the Sue Bee honey plant.

Naig says bee health continues to be a concern in Iowa and across the country.

Naig says Iowa has a “Bee Check” program that’s designed to prevent pesticides and other chemicals from harming bees.

Naig says they encourage everyone to use “Bee Check” to help prevent any unwanted damage to bees and other pollinators.
