we have a discussion on the disappearing bees on Latitudes TS Forum too, cos so many people have increased pollen allergy this year and many new dx...it is wondered by some if the decrease in the bees is leading to an increase in pollen
here are some interesting articles posted there
Bees killed by genetically modified crops
and
German Bees and GM Crops
and
More on GM crops
NY Times report on Bees dying of fungal infection
The bit that really sounded alarms for me was in that article re GM crops....they have a "natural pesticide" built into the DNA of the GM corn
