Bees transfer virus to varroa mites.

the issue I always have is that products tend to be rushed to the market without a sufficiently long term study to prove that they are not going to do untold damage to other elements of the environment.

What genetically based products are these that have done untold damage?

round up ready, for a start.

It's an enzyme inhibitor, not really based on genetics.....although the engineered resistance to it is getting a little difficult.

Untold, dictionary = so big that you cannot measure ...

Well, I find the research exciting. One of my long time bee buddies is doing much of the field work with the project. He's coming by tomorrow for a visit. Thanksgiving holiday. It will be good to see bim again. We think so alike when it comes to bees, it's scary. A couple pints and talk about old times. I'll ask him what he's seeing, and if allowed, I'll post something here.

He can't really say much, but when I asked him if he's seeing anything promising, he said yes.

Going to be interesting to see what happens, any idea of time scales?
