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.

Monsanto is a scourge on global agriculture. It was only reasonable to assume that the problem would be located with them.

Also, it seems someone forgot to tell the bees that they are supposed to be “collapsing.”

According to USDA, USA honey production (million lbs)

2006 154.9
2007 148.5
2008 160.8
2009 146.4
2010 175.9
2011 160.0

Seems rather “CCD” is some sort of propoganda that either benefits the enviromental movement, or the honey producers, or both.
