57. If they had foulbrood the bees would have and SHOULD have been destroyed.

"He knows foulbrood when he sees it" and the state inspectors don't?

Sorry but I will take the expertise of state inspectors over some guy making wild charges about Monsanto seizing his bees - for what? - it doesn't make any sense at all. There are plenty of scientists doing research on the effects of Roundup on bees, it would do Monsanto absolutely no good to illegally try to stop one person from doing this research, on the contrary, they would have a lot to lose. Whatever you think of Monsanto, they are not stupid. And anyone who would make wild charges like that has little credibility imo so I would take everything else he says about this with about a pound of salt also.

what does "resistant to roundup" mean? KurtNYC May 2012 #5
It's not SUPPOSED to, but there is considerable evidence that it DOES. n/t Ian David May 2012 #6
so the theory is that Monsanto wants a monopoly on bees resistant to their roundup? KurtNYC May 2012 #7
If you can prove the existence of round-up resistant bees... Ian David May 2012 #12
