GMOs Are Killing the Bees

In the mid-2000s, the world was in an uproar over the drastic decline in honeybee populations worldwide. And rightfully so as bees play a vital part in the global food chain, but GMOs did not cause this.There are many different diseases that have been linked to the decrease in population. Here are a few of the most common you’ll find:
Varroa destructor mites
Colony Collapse Disorder
Tracheal mites
Pesticides
Habitat destruction
Climate change
Bees pollinate one-third of the food we eat and are responsible for $15 billion of pollination each year. With pest-resistant GMOs becoming more popular, fewer chemicals are being used, leaving the bees to do their work without added hazards.
