Beekeepers Win Ban on Monsanto's GMOs in Poland
Monsanto's Mon810 corn, genetically engineered
to produce a mutant version of the insecticide Bt, has
been banned in Poland following protests by beekeepers
who showed the corn was killing honeybees.
Poland is the first country to formally acknowledge
the link between Monsanto's genetically engineered corn
and the Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) that's been
devastating bees around the world. Many analysts believe
that Monsanto has known the danger their GMOs posed to
bees all along. The biotech giant recently purchased a
CCD research firm, Beeologics, that government agencies,
including the US Department of Agriculture, have been
relying on for help unraveling the mystery behind the
disappearance of the bees.
Now that it's owned by Monsanto, it's very unlikely
that Beeologics will investigate the links, but
genetically engineered crops have been implicated in CCD
for years now. Take action!
