Honey ruined by genetically altered corn

How out of control is the frankenfood industry?

In Germany - where the European Union has failed to stem the rise of genetically modified crops - beekeepers now transport their bees for miles to keep them away from genetically modified corn that may contaminate their honey.

Pollen from genetically altered corn makes honey unfit for human consumption. This honey can't be sold - because nobody would want to buy it, and it's illegal to sell it anyway.

The unabated rise of frankenfoods is costing beekeepers an untold amount of money transporting their bees and finding space for them. Some have had to go out of business.

Because many of the bees have been ruined by genetically modified crops, they can't pollinate other crops, such as fruits and grains.

Bush ought to be made to grow a bee beard so the bees that were destroyed by his cronies in the frankenfood industry can pollinate his face.
