This is true, and we have been careful to cover many aspects of this topic
on this list, including even possible tie-ins with antibiotic resistance and
other highly speculative questions.

The BEE-L logs contain many posts about GMOs.  Most pertain to bees, and we
are hoping that any new posts will also add new information that also
relates principally to GMO impacts on bees and/or the plants closely
associated with bees..

FWIW, the ratio of Bee to Blah is a prime criterion in deciding the fitness
of any post for BEE-L:  Each paragraph that does not have much of anything
to do with bees or beekeeping for a post under consideration progressively
lowers the score, and reduces the likelihood of the post passing the test,
if there is any doubt.

GMO canola is of great interest to beekeepers, and any reasonable discussion
of GMO canola (& such) is much appreciated, as long as it passes the above
B/Blah test.

Keep them coming, but keep them on topic. (Bees)
