Honeybees may be wiped out in 10 years.
Organically grown bees, which is to say bees not
allowed to feed on genetically modified plants, are
not suffering from the problems seen in bees located
near GM crop fields.
There is
evidence that strongly suggests that the modified
gene used to make plants create their own natural
pesticides has spliced with the DNA of the bees'
digestive bacteria, turning the bees' entire
digestive system into a poison manufacturing system,
which the bees cannot survive. Which may explain why
the research got shelved.

Moved By The Bees: A Childhood Memory

"I’d
note the presence of honeybees deeply engaged in
their own communion with these humble flowers, find
a mason jar, punch holes in its metal lid, and place
a cushion of green grass with clover heads in the
bottom of the jar. Then I’d remove my sneakers and
begin a barefoot dance in a slow, spiral motion.
When my playmates saw me do this, they instinctively
stopped their activities, moved out of the way and
sat expectantly at a distance." |
