Maybe the problem is monoculture? Throughout the recent buzz of hive-related news, though, we’ve ignored a few items that laid the blame on GMO crops. Why? Because they seemed a bit shrill, maybe even a tad one-sided. But a long and apparently comprehensive piece in the German news magazine Der Spiegel is neither shrill nor one-sided. And it seems to adduce good evidence that bees who are suffering a parasite infestation are abnormally susceptible to pollen from maize engineered to express the Bt bacterial toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis.

Now that is "STUPIDITY!" Whether or not, the end of the world, as we know it, scenerio is being palyed out here, or not, does not negate the necessity for and the need to moniter and track the progress or demise of the BEES. It is only Prudent at minumum, and a National Crisis if we as Americans fail to realize that WE are dependent upon these little creatures for our FOOD SUPPLY, being estimates of one out of every three bite sof foos we intake... The naa-sayers of the BEE crisis, even themselves refer to that fact that the disappearing problem of BEES has occurred before, and so what's to worry , it's no different than before?? Oooh JEEE, DID ANYONE BOTHER TO TRACK THE PROBLEM THEN FOR A SOLUTION????? NO! Are they NOW,,, NO!!! The Stupidity of Man, to protect his own FOOD Supply and Life, never ceases to amaze me! Yet, the USDA and Government, will steal away all Americans RIGHTS and FREEDOMS, to allegedly protect us ALL, from Unkwone, not yet discovered, or problematic diseases in humans or animals, with the FOLLY of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS), for a cost of Millions, to VOLUNTARILY FORCE use all to comply to their FUTURE POTENTIAL DISEASE CRISIS, by giving up our RIGHTS on our own Private Property and Intrusion into our animals on that property... YET, the USDA and Government, in concert with STUPIDITY, DO NOTHING for YEARS NOW, about a Well known, and looming CRISIS of the Dispppearing BEES!!! WIth the Intelligence of THIS Government, GOD help us ALL!
