I only post to show beekeepers are not behind the issue.

Big Ag has a serious (and growing) PR problem.

It seems those environmentalists figure the time for *serious debate* is 
over.

I was sent around ten articles from around the world to post on BEE-L but 
although a few are about the neonics killing the worlds bees the list has 
better things to do in my opinion.

All are about the same.

I did find it interesting Dow was trying to move in on Monsanto's territory 
in today's post..

I have been in the bees every day this week and speaking with farmers all 
agree weeds are becoming a problem with roundup corn ( so many are 
increasing dosage) and causing reduced yields.

From a beekeepers standpoint you can drive along the edge of roundup fields 
in many places and see ditches killed from roundup washing from fields. For 
example the roadside on top of the field will be fine but the obvious 
roundup dead area will be in the roadside hill bottom.

I drive though row crops to get to the range land.

I will try to take some pictures.

I am through with the bee work for a week! hard to believe as we have been 
pushing hard since February.  Maybe I can get my floors sealed! My Bonsai 
trees trimed!
