News and Video: Are GM Crops Killing Bees? - “Since last November, the US has seen a decline in bee populations so dramatic that it eclipses all previous incidences of mass mortality. Beekeepers on the east coast of the United States complain that they have lost more than 70 percent of their stock since late last year, while the west coast has seen a decline of up to 60 percent.”

The disappearance of the bees has been dubbed "Colony Collapse Disorder" (CCD), and it is now being revealed that one of the main culprits of this international catastrophe, aside from cell phones, is genetically modified (GM) crops. More information on this issue at: "GM Genes 'Can Spread To People and Animals’".

Detailed information about the economic, health, and environmental consequences of producing genetically modified foods is presented in the following documentary: The Future of Food (1:28:56)

An interesting phenomenon is that the organic beekeeping world is not being effected significantly by CCD. Further information at: No Organic Bee Losses.
