Ion Exchange emails on honeybees dissapearance.

Here is an email from Margo on the honeybees and genetically modified plants.
I've never researched the GM (genetically modified) controversy, but with the info you sent, and further reading, I wonder if the connection is there.Monsanto said that the product, which has been grown commercially in the United States and Canada since 2003, is safe, and that EFSA's Scientific Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms even published a statement on 29 October 2004 verifying this.When did we start growing these crops? The above statement is about "MON 863, modified to protect itself against corn rootworm", but when did we begin Roundup Ready Beans?I'll try to talk to a beekeeper, and see if his organizations know more.I'm not sure where to proceed from here, though. What group would/could be most effective? The current trend today is "misinformation" to discount scientific findings, it seems. And so far seems to be very effective.
