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
Seems like it would be more direct to just prove that Roundup kills bees KurtNYC May 2012 #16
I think the resistant bees are one line of evidence in proving round-up kills bees. n/t Ian David May 2012 #18
Pretty hard to "understand the story" as it is not a real story. yellowcanine May 2012 #28
No doubt he has years of evidence. Insan(e)to is a villainous criminal, plain and simple Dont call me Shirley May 2012 #82
Actually I do doubt it. Roundup effects on bees is not exactly an unknown area. yellowcanine May 2012 #87
Monsanto are pure, utter evil, and I say this meaning it entirely and without reservation. Fire Walk With Me May 2012 #17
They want to control the worlds seed source and that is evil. lame54 May 2012 #37

round up is a non selective herbacide.. oldhippydude May 2012 #8
There is no evidence Roundup affects bees and plenty of people doing research on it. yellowcanine May 2012 #31
Shower yourself with a diet rich in roundup then. Dont call me Shirley May 2012 #83
How does that relate to this discussion? Answer, it doesn't. yellowcanine May 2012 #90
And megacorporations never lie and destroy for profit's sake! Fire Walk With Me May 2012 #153

didn't they say the same thing about atrazine? booley May 2013 #192
Who is THEY? Whether someone said that or not it is not actually relevant. yellowcanine Jun 2013 #193
Researchers booley Jun 2013 #194
I did not say atrazine doesn't break down in the soil: I said it can persist a long time. It can. yellowcanine Jun 2013 #195
Also glyphosate has been around since 1974 and your idea that it hasn't been researched yellowcanine Jun 2013 #196
No we did not. booley Jun 2013 #197
Point is both have been around a long time. yellowcanine Jun 2013 #198
Roundup is said to also destroy human DNA. Fire Walk With Me May 2012 #9

Why should anybody believe your source? GarroHorus May 2012 #11

That's a good point. And the only other source I can find is the nutjob site, "Natural News." n/t Ian David May 2012 #15

Great article GarroHorus May 2012 #26
The evil gubamint might have seized the bees, but what about the 'research?' msanthrope May 2012 #59
I noticed that too. The bees were seized because inspectors detected foulbrood. yellowcanine May 2012 #20
The keeper demands that he knows what he is doing Fire Walk With Me May 2012 #23
If you read the Prairie Avocate article it's pretty clear where his bees are. GarroHorus May 2012 #32
That's an assumption, and that's the beekeeper's point. He's not getting answers Fire Walk With Me May 2012 #44
According to the article, he first got notice of this last year.... msanthrope May 2012 #66
If they had foulbrood the bees would have and SHOULD have been destroyed. yellowcanine May 2012 #57
58 years of experience in bee keeping vs. 12 years as a what, corporate hack? Dont call me Shirley May 2012 #85
No. It was based on lab tests at the USDA lab in Beltsville. yellowcanine May 2012 #94
The keeper demands that he knows what he is doing LiberalAndProud May 2012 #172

As am I. Truth can't be determined without considering the source. yellowcanine May 2012 #68
Well the truth of the matter is of some dispute so source has to be considered. yellowcanine May 2012 #65
