"I believe there is new evidence of bees being exposed to these systemic seed treatments in the early part of the growing season that is weakening the bees’ immune system, disrupting their neurological systems so they can’t navigate their way back to the hive, which is a signature characteristic of Colony Collapse Disorder (empty colonies). I think the seed treatment residues could be impacting many other non-target organisms from bats to frogs to insects."

I read all the links, and there is no evidence whatsoever that the seeds are the cause of bee degeneration. Worth investigating though.

You may not agree with this because she links GE seeds to the collapse of animal/insect populations, but she does make the link.

Funny Ben. I've seen several reports on the problem of the bee population dropping - but none blame it on GM seeds! One credible report blamed it on a mite (since you might not allow URLs here, Google "Tiny mite responsible for bee colony deaths" to get my source from CTV). When you blame someone or something that might be disputed, it's good manners to provide your source.
