Illinois illegally seizes bees resistant to Monsanto’s Roundup; Kills remaining Queens

6. We should note the only connection to Monsanto is Ingram suggests there could be one

The only mention of Monsanto is his quote: "Knowing that Monsanto and the Dept. of Ag are in bed together, one has to wonder if Monsanto was behind the theft to ruin my research that may prove Round-Up was, and is, killing honeybees."

So he speculates, without any evidence beyond "they do things together", and without drawing a conclusion. The globalreasearch writer has changed that (from over a year ago) to a straight statement of fact: "Behind the obvious violations of his Constitutional rights is Monsanto". I can find no developments in the story since the bees were confiscated.

It comes down to: do you trust government scientists to accurately detect diseases? Or do you think they are in the pay of priavte companies, and will lie?

I wonder what the point of the confiscation would be, anyway, from Monsanto's point of view. If Ingram says that most bees are not resistant to Roundup, but his were, what would the confiscation of them prove? All the bees vulnerable to Roundup would still exist - and they'd be the problem for Monsanto. Monsanto would benefit from someone saying "see, some bees are unaffected by the product".
