The Proponent is proposing to establish a bee farm at Canning’s Lake, located along the Bay d’ Espoir Highway, in Central Newfoundland. The farm would consist of two parcels of Crown land, and development would include the installation of beehives on one parcel and fencing the bee yard. Access to the bee yard would be via Haynes Lake Access Road, an existing forestry access road.
