Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin in the US say honey bees exposed to the organophosphorus compound, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, the world’s biggest selling weed-killer, lose some of the beneficial bacteria in their guts and are more susceptible to infection and death from harmful bacteria. Roundup also destroys beneficial bacteria in the human gut.

Research broadens concerns over the impact of the world’s most common weed-killer. Nick Carne reports
There’s more bad news for glyphosate, the active ingredient of Roundup, with a recent study suggesting the widely used weed-killer might be contributing to the death of honey bees and native bees around the world.

Great article, barovsky, illustrating how contact with an African continent undergoing cultural and intellectual renaissance helped Europe overcome their backwardness. It’s my understanding that Greece also “civilized” Rome following their military conquest and enslavement of the Greeks. Most of the heritage Europeans attribute to the Romans really came from Greece. I think history will show European civilization will have left very little to posterity, either.

Does anyone have a clue as to what would happen if there are no bees to pollinate crops? Hint: There goes the food supply. Still wanna buy some Roundup? Go ahead. Your starving grandchildren will not thank you for it.
“They are critical pollinators: they pollinate 70 of the around 100 crop species that feed 90% of the world. Honey bees are responsible for $30 billion a year in crops. … We may lose all the plants that bees pollinate, all of the animals that eat those plants and so on up the food chain.May 4, 2014”

Everything you point out is absolutely true, Shelby. Hopefully the influence of the US power structure and media will continue to decline – and rapidly enough that the voices of us who oppose this insanity will gradually seize control of the narrative and put companies like Bayer/Monsanto out of business.
