Excerpt: "Conclusion: Honey bees are not affected by
glyphosate or Roundup formulations based on data

Now even if its true some foraging bees are killed by 
Roundup sprays because the farmer added extra spreader-sticker 
to the tank mix, why is it that the academics, pollinator 
protection groups and beekeepers don't express similar 
levels of concern about foraging bees that are ground up
in broad daylight via mechanical means?
