Bees and insects are vital and corporations pose a real danger.

Bees are vital because the USDA estimates that 1/3 of the American diet depends on pollination by honeybees. We need insects and bees to survive.

We are facing a very severe honeybee colony collapse which is very likely related to Monsanto which seems to get a pass from the EPA. Also getting passes are genetically-modified products by companies such as Dow and DuPont which also appear to be above the law.

The reason we have so many continuously updated references in the below articles covering many years is to show this has been going on for decades.
