I believe it is simply that organic fields have more weeds, therefore more
flowers. MaKenzie from Maine has shown that wild bee diversity increases
with plant species diversity (more weeds, more wild bees).
I am sure Dr. Winston wont be happy how his paper was quoted. Media hype!
as to GM Canola's effect on honey bees, here is one study by Zach Huang at
Michigan State University. He has found no effects of GM Canola pollen on
honey bees.
