*May 11, 2012* - Transgenic plants contain gene or genes that have been
artificially inserted, rather than acquired through plant's natural
pollination process. Pesticides are used for control of insects, weeds, or
fungi on crops. Proposed standard, ASTM WK36581, Practice for in Vitro
Rearing of Honeybee Larvae, would use honeybee larvae as surrogate to
determine if transgenic crops or pesticides would harm honeybees or other
beneficial insects in nearby areas.
