I don't see if a beekeeper uses antibiotics on his sick bees or simply lets 
those bees die and buy others or raise bees from those which survive the 
disease (if any) as an ethics issue.
Antibiotics for control of EFB/AFB & nosema are registered and legal to use 
in the U.S. ( although not in all countries)

I would write about the ethics of the three big chemical companies.


Now running on the documentary channel is the documentary on GMO and both 
sides are allowed to speak their say. The documentary simply interviews both 
sides. No bias.

"Life Running out of control"

The end of the road for GMO canola and corn is that if you want to grow 
those plants you will have to buy seed and roundup from Monsanto. One 
variety of canola and corn in the world with seeds and herbicide only 
available from Monsanto. Roundup today is the most widely sold herbicide in 
the WORLD.

Once GMO products are used in an area all the canola and corn become GMO ( 
with sterile seed and only roundup working as a herbicide)

In Canada Monsanto was quick to sue the organic canola growers for STEALING 
their product because the wind converted all the organic canola to GMO 
canola. Monsanto won the case in the two lower courts but the Canada supreme 
court dropped the damages Monsanto won against the organic grower.
Talk about justice being the will of the stronger!

These are also the people which brought you DDT , agent orange and the 
cancer causing sugar substitute aspartame.

If you want an ethics story consider big ag.
