Herve and All

I'm afraid that we've been here before with this one.  Yes, risk assessments
should not hide under the cloak of commercial sensitivity, and yes, people
should be able to know what they are eating and be free to make their own
choices .. but ..  the two points on the risks of GM to bees are simply
myths.  One (the French Connection) is just a misunderstanding, widely
propagated in the beekeeping press.  The other was a concerned beekeeper
making some speculation, and all the signs are that the speculation was
entirely unfounded.

If you want the details go here:

See the full exchanges in the archives by searching for 'Rowland' and
looking for the messages in November 2000 and again in January 2001.

cheers

Gavin.
