NonSanto = RR = Roundup = gliphosate

Gliphosate as active principle, quite innocuos to bees
adjuvants ? do not remember de conclution, but looked bad as I recall.

RR, OGM resistant to roundup, bee-wise very disruptive, green deserts are
formed, no pollen available. aplifies what is possible as cultivable land,
since most of "arable" part of equation is taken out by herbicide. Bee
Oasis are left within a rapid expanding Agfrontier.

The cosmetic use of gliphosate (gulf course escenario) is lowering the
nutrition quality of those green corridors between Bee Oasis and within
urban reservoirs.

Could this also be part of the equation when evaluating RR OGM technology?

The no till farming proposal, quite green at its begginings with the
irruption of gliphosate end up being a very owfull combination, since bad
practices of no rotation and excesive/repetitive use of herbicide, produced
a dead soil with resistant weed.

In Praire geographies the temptation triumphed and you have SojaNation in
Argentina, MaizeNation in USA and CanolaNation in Canada as bad examples of
land use when thinking on bee nutrition.
