Bayer on defensive in bee deaths

A German prosecutor is investigating Werner Wenning, Bayer's chairman, and Friedrich Berschauer, the head of Bayer CropScience, after critics alleged that they knowingly polluted the environment.

The investigation was triggered by an Aug. 13 complaint filed by German beekeepers and consumer protection advocates, a Coalition against Bayer Dangers spokesman, Philipp Mimkes, said Monday.

The complaint is part of efforts by groups on both sides of the Atlantic to determine how much Bayer CropScience knows about the part that clothianidin may have played in the death of millions of honeybees.

This is really huge.

Honeubees fertilize MOST of the plant foods we eat and everybody knows they are disappearing.

Again, just like with DDT, we'll have a massive corporation able to lie, lie, lie about the impact of their product until long after the damage is severe and undeniable. Their teams of highly-paid lawyers will continue the denial.

It's ALL about MASSIVE short term profits. This really pisses me off.
