Honey is not the only thing bees produce. They also poop. Two people in Quispamsis, NB complained they can’t enjoy their properties because of the amount of bee excrement. Now the town has enacted a by-law regulating beekeeping activity in the community. Noah Donovan is the only Quispamsis municipal councillor who voted against the by-law. He talked to Maritime Noon’s Bob Murphy.

Birders gathered in Green Bay, Nova Scotia on the weekend for a sighting so rare it’s categorized as a “mega”. They caught a glimpse of a gray-crowned rosy finch. The bird’s usual habitat is Alaska and the North-Western United States. It’s believed to be the FIRST time the species has been seen in the Maritime region. Maritime Noon host Bob Murphy spoke with photographer Jason Dain.

Owen Parkhouse took this picture of a notice on the front door of a Dollarama store in Stratford, PEI yesterday.
The military veteran from Morell and 1st Vice-President of Dominion Command of the Royal Canadian Legion is dismayed that anyone would use the words "Happy Holiday" in relation to Remembrance Day. He worries it's an example of how the meaning of the day is lost on some people.

Some avid bird watchers in the region, including Alain Clavette of Memramcook, are embracing another way of practicing their passion.
Rather than travelling long distances to see rare birds, they're sticking to a nearby location and revisiting it many times. They say it's more environmentally friendly and they can better appreciate the behaviour of birds. It's called patch birding.
