The mystery of bee deaths has been pretty well solved. Also note here that I have been trying to tell folks this for the past forty years. Colony Collapse is poisoning with a known insect neurotoxin. Clothianidin, a pesticide manufactured by Bayer.
Isn’t it interesting that a major pharmaceutical manufacturer, Bayer, also makes a product that is a poison by design? Bayer is not an exception. Many, if not most, do business in both arenas. That alone should give pause for thought.
Here’s a list of corporations — not expected to be complete — that profit in both pharmaceuticals and pesticides:
* American Home Products
* AMVAC
* Astra Zeneca
* Aventis
* BASF
* Bayer
* Dow Chemical
* Dupont Chemical
* Merck
* Monsanto
* Novartis
* Pharmacia
Is it an accident that most of Big Pharma also manufactures pesticides? Is there a connection between the two types of products? Do the pharmaceutical arms of these corporations profit on the illness caused by the pesticide arms? These questions are rhetorical. We’ll let the reader decide.
