Don apparently makes a distinction between chemicals like FGMO and the 
nasty stuff the EPA has approved for use in bee hives. Purists like Dee 
(and I say that with nothing but the greatest respect for her beliefs) 
don't discriminate between good chemicals and bad chemicals, but between 
good treatments and bad treatments. And of course, there are no good 
treatments :)

You'd have to ask him.

Yes Bill, it is a common thread, here and elsewhere. So in Don's case, 
to what should we attribute his apparent success? Small cell or FGMO? :)
