Nothing new here, I guess, except it seems timely and ties in about four ongoing discussions right now.

The BBCs take is here: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-30831257#

The full text article in Journal of Applied Ecology is here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365-2664.12385/full

They hammer on the probability (inevitability?) of cross-species contamination, and include commercial bumblebee pollination on the list of prime offenders. Interesting read.

Cheers....
