This has already been discussed here. See archives. However, it is worth pointing out how the title you present skews the impact of the actual report. > WILD BEE ABUNDANCE AND SEED PRODUCTION IN CONVENTIONAL, ORGANIC, AND GENETICALLY MODIFIED CANOLA by Lora A. Morandin,a, 1 and Mark L. Winston > Our study has demonstrated an interesting pattern in which wild bee abundance is related to improved crop yields, but a genetically modified crop variety designed to improve yields through weed management might have the undesired consequence of reducing bee abundance in the field. However, it is important to note that other factors may be correlated with field type and be as important to bee abundance. For example, organic farmers tend to locate farther from established farm areas in order to satisfy minimum distance regulations regarding proximity to GM fields, possibly resulting in greater amounts of seminatural habitat around fields. *********************************************************************************** * Full guidelines for BEE-L posting are at: * * http://www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l/guidelines.htm * ***********************************************************************************
