The fox is guarding the hen-house IMO.

Wait until they implant a new patented gene and then sue every beekeeper in the country when it shows up in their hives.  This is exactly what they have been doing to farmers...

I cannot even express how much I despise Monsanto. Their business practices are appalling. It's like a freaky sci-fi movie where a corporation is trying to take over the world---through plants and insects.

My pitchfork is already sharp ;)

There is even a bigger storm brewing.  Follow this.....Monsanto has GMO all wrapped up....which will produce genetic changed pollen.....In Europe the honey has to have a label advising pollen is present in the product....IF the US adopts this practice of honey labeling advising that pollen is present....could Monsanto force (through the court system) the beekeeper to prove the pollen in the honey is NON Monsanto GMO pollen?  This is what is going on now with Monsanto and the Farmer in courts.  Just my rant and again...it is just my thoughts.

If beeks were willing to organize :? (like our ancestors) a class action suit could at least slow down this eventual take over of our food and means to earn income. 

Total control over our food and water is the main goal of these conglomerates, nothing else (besides profits) matters.  Capitalism run amok.  And some say we need more of it :roll:

We must remember; Corporations are people now (except for that 'going to jail' part) and have the same rights as you and I.

Maybe we're too late? Honey bees harvest pollen off Monsanto Soy Beans - Pollen contains Genes - The Bees are in violation of copyright laws- All Beekeepers must pay royalties or else! :evil:
