221. bayer is just a foreign company that monsanto sells its crap to so it won't get an anti-trust suit

and they both sell poisons that kill bees

you've got the bt corn pollen, the roundup filled weed pollen, and insecticides on top of that.

corn that has 1 insecticide on the seed coat, 1 in the pollen GENETICALLY, and herbicide buildup, too. riiiight....

the idea that it is one and only one thing causing the problem is ludicrous-

ever occur to you they probably gave the nico-crap to bayer because they're in germany and thus can avoid our LAWS?

I've made a career of sorts writing about the "big six" agrichemical companies—Monsanto, Dow, Bayer, DuPont, Syngenta, and BASF—that produce the great bulk of the world's pesticides and, increasingly, seeds. But last week, I did something different. Rather than investigate and critique these companies in print, I broke bread with some of their executives. And then, in a public forum live-cast on the internet from DC's Newseum, I told them bluntly what I thought of their industry.
