British Bees Making GM Honey

Bee farmers in Britain want a meeting with the government after their
honey was found to contain “GM components” – specifically GMOs for
weedkiller tolerance, said the Independent (London) report. Traces of GM
pollen was found in two honey samples out of nine that came from an area
that grew test trials of GM crops last year. Food campaigners want the
government to take immediate action “to protect this multi-million pound
industry from the GMO threat.” An official with the Bee Farmers
Association of the UK said its members were being advised to move hives
at least six miles from any GM crop site. According to a government
spokeswoman, “The minute amounts of GM pollen found in honey pose no
risk to human health.” However, a Scottish beekeeper said that if honey
is food and it contains GMOs, “then the trials are insecure and
illegal.”
