a Travis Owen snip followed by > my comments.. 
What does the BEE-L community think about the idea of genetically engineered bees?

>As to your total comments an excellent example in the difference between risk and uncertainty as defined by economic thinking. With the positive being the upside and potential known negative impact being the risk aspects in the equation and all that is unknown being the uncertainty. People can mentally deal with risk but large uncertainty not so much.

>My best guess is yes this will be done at some point in the future.
