<p><span style="color:#000000;">Monsanto&#8217;s Mon810 corn, genetically engineered to produce a mutant version of the insecticide Bt, has been banned in Poland following protests by beekeepers who showed the corn was killing honeybees. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Poland is the first country to formally acknowledge the link between Monsanto&#8217;s genetically engineered corn and the Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) that&#8217;s been devastating bees around the world. Many analysts believe that Monsanto has known the danger their GMOs posed to bees all along. The biotech giant recently purchased a CCD research firm, Beeologics, that government agencies, including the US Department of Agriculture, have been relying on for help unraveling the mystery behind the disappearance of the bees. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Now that it&#8217;s owned by Monsanto, it&#8217;s very unlikely that Beeologics will investigate the links, but genetically engineered crops have been implicated in CCD for years now. </span></p>
