At the April meeting of the eastern mo beekeeping association last wednesday the guest speaker was jerry hayes. from the e.m.b.a. newsletter:
  "Apiary expert Jerry Hayes, Monsanto's Beeologics, will present Perspectives on Spring Management. Beeologics researches and
develops biological tools to provide targeted control of pests and diseases including those that are potentially contributing to CCD.
Hayes has served two terms as president of the Apiary Inspectors of America group and is a founding member of the Colony Collapse
Disorder (CCD) Working Group. He is currently a science advisor for Project Apis Mellifera and is the contributor of the American Bee
Journal's Q&A column ―The Classroom‖ as well as a book of the same title. He previously served as Chief of the Apiary Inspection Section for Florida's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services."
  jerry was hired by monsanto to perform research to help bees. he actually spoke highly of monsanto's efforts sounds hopeful that they are sincere in their efforts. i was at that meeting. i believe that jerry believes that monsanto wants to help solve the problem that bees are experiencing. so i hope we have a rooster in the fox's henhouse. my problem is my deep distrust of any corporation, especially monsanto.

Jerry advocated killing every swarm that left a hive in Florida. Maybe that wasn't enough. Maybe he thought he would get to kill even more bees working for Monsanto.

Hardwood can tell you about his kind efforts to help bees. As Iddee mentioned he was very vocal in advocating ALL swarms & feral colonies be eradicated for fear they were ALL AHB. What a crock!!!!!

Two years ago he tried to have Brendhan remove our night time inspections from the agenda (at the southeast organic beekeeping conference) for fear we would be, get this, promoting bee hive thievery!  :lau:

Be afraid, be very afraid.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

I rather think Jerry was hired to  prove that Monsanto's pesticides don't kill bees.  Or at least to provide a distraction when the the facts come out.  Monsanto will use him to whatever ends they have and cast him out as a scapegoat When they are done.
Don' be afraid, just skeptical.
Just my opinion.
