The world food supply has been greatly threatened by Colony Collapse Disorder, CCD, of honey bees. But Harvard University has a short-term solution: robot bees.
Nearly one-third of the world’s crops are dependent on bee pollination. Without honey bees there would be no fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, cotton, coffee, chocolate, etc.
The main culprit of CCD, which began in 2006, seems to be the pesticide neonicotinoid produced by Monsanto and used in GMOs – genetically modified crops. A recent study by the Bulletin Of Insectology does show a link between this pesticide and CCD.

Bees aren’t the only way that cross pollination is possible.
But they are the best way Steel.
Bull$#%&!@*.
figures O would make monsanto immune to federal courts
Good for Putin & Russia. USA wants to kill their kids obviously.
Bees do more than pollinate – there will only be f**e honey which most of the honey in the store is – also the poison killing them is also going to be killing us (if not already)
Science is failing the Agricultural Ecology of the ENTIRE PLANET
That’s why in some parts of Europe GMOs are illegal…although the process of getting seeds to grow anything is very difficult…their bees are coming back.
