Back in 2011 when all this Court Circus started I got this information to
the above question:
"Transcontinental pollen:
http://www.hutton.ac.uk/webfm_send/532
Is transcontinental pollen still alive? Maybe. No-one has shown it. But
yes,
it can also get into honey (in very low levels, sometimes) and give a
positive
PCR reaction. "
As a French researcher from INRA said at the International Workshop GM
Pollen in Honey, Berlin 13./14.12. 2011
"We european breath more GMO pollen daily than what we can eat from honey
in a year".
