This comment, https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/9immmj/honey_bees_exposed_to_glyphosate_the_active/e6l88qj/ https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/9immmj/honey_bees_... , explains what I was referring to. I wasn't directly saying that bees were submerged, just that the amounts they used were far higher than most real-world exposure scenarios. I know it's sacrilege to try and defend Monsanto, Facebook, or Google on HN for any reason whatsoever, but it would be nice if people didn't go full-on "NaturalNews.com" mode whenever the topic comes up.

Dude you could have read the methods section instead of referencing a reddit comment no one had brought up. Can you at least own that, or are you gonna keep pretending that you’re fighting a righteous battle against The HNers crusade on the poor billion dollar corporations? Your comment and your reply add nothing. If you’re not on Monsanto’s PR team please realize they have their own for these kind of threads and don’t need any help.

  The content of the comment is what I was referring to, not the comment itself. Chill out.

> I know it's sacrilege to try and defend Monsanto, Facebook, or Google on HN for any reason whatsoever, but it would be nice if people didn't go full-on "NaturalNews.com" mode whenever the topic comes up. It would be equally nice if we were able to consider the science being explored, rather than have people deride any investigation at all. The methodology is there to be replicated, and though you're free to disagree with it, throwing hyperbole that's clear false around: > being completely submerged in glyohosate? Isn't helpful to moving the conversation forward.
