More rough translation from French:

> Not less than two years of investigations were necessary to Gil Riviere-Wekstein to gather all the pieces and reconstruct it. "Bees, Ecological Sham" is well documented, where we discover how a small group of beekeepers - by far the minority in the profession - has managed to impose his point of view, sometimes adjusting the "truth" . For many reasons, these beekeepers were followed by researchers, politicians, environmental activists, all located in this new struggle of interests which were private. According to the author, this is a prime example of abuse of the precautionary principle for political reasons at the expense of scientific considerations. 

> Far from being an indictment for the Gaucho and Regent, this book poses primarily a problem of substance. It highlights the gap that may exist between a reality often complex and a simplistic discourse, between those who seek to reinforce their prejudices and those looking for explanations, then left to change his mind. However, the prejudice which have converged on the various opponents Gaucho and Regent - but of very different political or ideological sensibilities  - was built on a recent paradigm: the naive and blind belief in the fact that the "natural" carries only positive values, while the synthetic and artificial have become symbols of danger.  Gil River Wekstein therefore reiterates the importance of staying intellectually vigilant to not fall into the trap of apocalyptic discourse, simplifying reasoning, and especially looking for an easy scapegoat.
