I'm not quite sure why this is being voted down. Anyone care to share the reason? Factual inaccuracies? Criticizing Bayer scientists? Vilifying HFCS? I'd love to get feedback on how the above post is out of line.
I'd like to point out that there is huge financial incentives for the chem-companies to prove it isn't chemicals. Case in point, take the book 'The Idiots Guide to Beekeeping'
In this book they suggest small-cell beekeeping as a way to help prevent the infection of mites. The chem companies and suppliers are furious that they would suggest this and are aggressively applying pressure to the publishers of the book. The publishers, who know little about beekeeping are in turn applying pressure to the authors to redact their stance on small-cell beekeeping.
I'm not making this stuff up, checkout this email thread: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/BackwardsBeekeepers/message/4150 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/BackwardsBeekeepers/messa...
(For context, Backwards Beekeepers is one of the largest organic beekeeping groups in the US, based out of Los Angeles.)
