As the Friends of the Earth put it today, “The Justice Department just announced that it has approved the merger of Bayer the Bee Slayer and Monsanto the Butterfly Killer.”
A week ago we learned that beekeepers lost almost 50% of their hives this year. Bayer makes neonicotinoid pesticides, a major factor in bee declines.
Monsanto makes Roundup and sells it to agribusiness for use on crops genetically altered to be immune to the herbicide.
This is a marriage made in hell.
