I keep on reading stories on how the bee population is disappearing around the world for several years. And the scientis can't figure why. There is a real panic at the speed of collapse of the colonies, and how that's affecting farming world wide. I can't help but wonder if GM crops played their part. So far, scientis haven't shown if bees are able to distinguish between GM seeded crops or natual ones. They are driven by instint to pollenize. Arteries don't clot overnight from a rich meal, it takes years of unbalanced diets and habits. Wouldn't that be the case for bees from getting GM pollens for years? We are the living study that Monsanto and its colleagues are basing their PRs on: until a death can be proven to be linked directly and exclusively to GM food, they can always claim their products to be safe. Just as no-one been able to prove what caused clotted arteries, like one specific culprit, the GM producers can feel safe to skip paying the retainers to their legal team.
