Herbicides and insecticides

Products like 'Round Up' weed killer and 'Confidor' insecticides have been proven to harm bees. Glysophate - the active ingredient in Round Up has been banned in several country's for being carcinogenic. Bees and humanity face a major challenge as massive corporations are determined to feed the world with GMO (genetically modified) Food mono culture farming.  [Save the Bees]
