of genetic engineering found in honey
Total annual harvest
disposed of in waste incineration
The Administrative Court of Augsburg on 30 Mai Fest, that honey with pollen of genetically modified maize MON 810 is marketable. Now this pollen has been found, despite the precautions prescribed by the court in the honey the beekeeper Karl Heinz Bablok. Its total annual honey crop was affected, and on 23 September in Augsburg disposed of waste incineration.
Whether beekeepers Bablok the damage from the grower, the Bavarian State Institute of Agriculture, gets replaced, is uncertain. This year alone its analysis cost is € 746.73. The additional costs of migration, the international support effort, disposal costs for honey and mead, and the lost sales revenue and loss of earnings are, on preliminary estimates at around € 10.000, -.
"beekeepers and bees work all year. Agricultural and wild plants we need for fertilization. I do not understand why our government genetic engineering is more important than the native landscape. If this continues I will stop with the bees. "
bees collect in a radius of 5 km nectar and pollinate flowers, without distinguishing whether they are genetically modified or not. The Administrative Court had ruled that the beekeepers have to migrate to the area of public areas during the corn flower with their peoples in order to guard against the contamination of their products with genetically modified corn. Bablok had taken away his bees though harvested and before the corn flower, but to his surprise were still pollen of the GM crops last year in his people.
"If 2% is the Bavarian maize production by genetic engineering could lead this great because of the flight radius of the bees and the relatively small areas to ensure that all Bavarian beekeepers are affected." Said master beekeeper Radetzki, the Alliance to protect the bees from Agro-biotechnology represents. "We expect the Federal Government to the invitation of the Federal Council on the occasion following the adoption of the Gene Technology Act and the rules
