POPSGene from the genetically engineered rapeseed was transferred in the bee's gut to the microbes. Global food security is a key strategic issue regarding genetic modification. This could become a major concern, either through the impact of promotion of GM in agriculture in the third world, which will bring about the demise of the livelihoods of billions of people in the developing world; OR because of some catastrophe affecting crops e.g. a virus through some GMO releases spreading horizontally across species, destroying food crops.

POPSColony Collapse Disorder We in America take honeybees for granted. They are one of the few cherished insects we have that are not native, having been brought here by colonists in the 16th century. The rest of the interlopers — the gypsy moths, Asian longhorn beetles, cabbage white butterflies, and so on — it seems we could well do without. But not honeybees. We are absolutely dependent upon them for our country’s well-being.
