Where Have All The Bees Gone?

Also screwing up bees’ internal navigation is the fact that the earth’s magnetic field is weakening; some suggest, in preparation for a flip of the field, when North becomes South & vice versa. The flip is actually overdue.

Noone ever complained down through the centuries when we made genetically modified dogs.But change people’s corn and it’s suddenly a big problem!It’s probably a good thing that we are able to make corn plants that are hardier and require less pesticides.   I’m a high school biology teacher and I keep spreading the word that there’s a lot of good that can come from breeding better plants.

Genetically modified cells are not some new pandora’s box that never existed before — rapidly growing organisms like yeast and bacteria modify their cells all the time in nature.  It’s “natural” in a pretty real sense.  Look up transposon or look up horizontal gene transfer on any wiki or encyclopedia.   Now, if you want to talk about the crimes  of Monsanto, there is plenty creepy or at least unfair about their pricing of the seeds and also about the Bovine growth hormone and antibiotics situation.   But genetically modified plants are a bugaboo, a nothing.  I almost feel sometimes that someone stirred up the greens about GMO’s to distract them from real actual corporate malfeasnace
