| Investigations carried out by the Institute of Science in Society implicated a synergistic interaction between the recent widespread use of new pesticides (including Bt toxin from GM crops) and fungal infections, in the worsening decline of honeybees. This winters' bee loss was 34 percent, up from the 25 percent the previous year. According to the USDA, one mouthful in three of the foods we eat depend on honeybees. |
