This is why we must not buy genetically engineered crops. Monsanto & the Obama Admin are up to some very evil stuff.

Monsanto.
Genetically modified food/seeds should be banned.

I’ve been praying for answers to this problem. So much of our food supply depends on these magnificent little workers. Thank God the scientists are getting somewhere with their research.

The dumb kid in the back of the room has a question? Since the seed and the coating is put in the ground and covered up and where it rots and the corn grows up, has someone started a new line of digger honey bees. Do they have little shovels and miner lamps? Has honey got clay in it?

Didn’t they already prove that their hive collapse was due to a virus or fungus, or parasite or something? I could have sworn they had made that determiniation years ago now.

I seem to remember reading that too. But maybe that was just a theory?

Did anyone really ever question but that the culprit would ultimately prove to be Monsanto?

It’s not the GMO’s so much as the “why” they GM’d it in the first place.

They made it so that the plant could be saturated in roundup without killing the plant.

Then we eat the roundup. 100 million pounds a year.

Gd created the bee, without whom we could not survive. Man is given the choice: create good or create evil. GMO with insecticides and pesticides is us using Gd’s earth to make evil.

These posts about Monsanto are uneducated. These insecticides mentioned are not genetic and in fact, are the opposite of genetic. Corn seeds coasted with this neonicotinoids are allowed in Australia, but not the genetic seeds produced by Monsanto. These insecticides are produced by Bayer of Germany and compete with the genetics. In fact, genetic seed would help eliminate the use of these neonicotinoids.

And this is an old theory, has been around since 2008.

They are magnificent indeed. I have been stung, but still love and respect them. A stingered society is a polite society!
