Truth about GMO

Around April of this year, a rumor from somewhere churned a fee that genetically modified (GM) crops were responsible for the mass production disappearance of honey bees. Code-named "Colony collapse illness, the puzzle story quickly gained traction in the blog sphere, and especially Web sites of anti-biotech groups such as Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and Organic Consumer Association (OCA) .

OCA, perhaps, Most exuded exuberance in the news. reinforces a blog entry on the blog Celsias , which argue that honey bees were bound to disappear because their contacts with� substances they should not have, to be with - pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics and pollen from genetically modified plants. "

OCA continue ran another article, originally published on the website of Malaysia-Action Network Pesticide Action Network Asia and the Pacific (PAN AP), which cited Dr. Ricarda Steinbrecher, UK-based genetic scientists, say:

Nobody knows why the bees die. There are signs that GE crops but also contribute, especially insect resistant plants produce the Bt toxin. Although healthy bees seem to be not affected by Bt pollen, a scientist named Hans-Hinrich Kaatz in Germany has found that the bee infestation with parasites and fed with Bt pollen were affected and died at a high rate. Beekeepers been reported that honey bees suffer from high parasites and diseases. As reported last week in a German magazine [Der Spiegel], similar to this new evidence that Bt pollen is a key factor in the death of the bees. The areas where the bees are gone, a lot of Bt crops not grown. We do not believe that this is a coincidence. Nobody would have ever thought that this would have been a result of Bt-and yet we are here. Not only can we not know exactly how this interaction happened, we do not know how to deal with it or stop, or even if we can.

For not only from the debate, I have in the journal highlighted an article Science , the discounted fears that GM plants were responsible for the disappearance of honey bees. GMO Pundit Blog did the same. Two days, the New York Times published study findings by a group of entomologists implies that a bee called Israeli acute disease polio virus in the colony acute illness. The study is in Science Express, in the online edition of the journal Science .

These scientific findings are important because they disambiguate the cause (s) of honey bees disappearance. This linkage of GM crops on the acute illness colony, it is hoped that a lesson learned. The studies also consider the role of science in the debate about GM crops.
