Drivel, of course.

Nothing to do with glyphosate at all.
And you got proof of this, Mr One-sentence-man?

Read the article, dimbulb!

Yes, and? The article says nothing about glyphosate not being a serious threat to bee populations. Can you read??

It also says nothing about the bees being abducted by aliens.

I asked you to prove why glyphosate isn't a threat to bee populations. Your successive one sentence replies don't even slightly address that.

And further more, the article clearly states: "Among commercial beekeepers, the causes of the majority of losses are not as clear."

They aren't intended to. If someone wishes to propose that the loss of bees is due to glyphosate, then it is up to them to demonstrate the link.
If they can't do so, we can be reasonably sure there is no link.

There I've spelt it out for you.

Read it s-l-o-w-l-y if you are still confused.

...still it could be Alien Abductions.

Maybe even Varroa mites:

You claimed that it was "drivel" that glyphosate could cause damage to bee populations. That is a statement of certainty. There's plenty of evidence to suggest that glyphosate and other pesticides are toxic to bees. Like the issue with CSG, it seems you have a vested interest in (or a history being involved in) certain industries. Your strong one sentence pronouncements about certain issues of vital significance to human health despite numerous credible concerns about them are lazy and stink of bias. Like most of your empty posting history, it's pretty safe to class anything you say as being of dubious merit.

Maybe you should read the article. Again:

"Among commercial beekeepers, the causes of the majority of losses are not as clear."

I should offer a bit of an apology... The common studies are of pesticides, not herbicides like roundup. Although, there are studies that outline threats that glyphosate pose to bee populations - eg. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25063858

WTF is CSG?

What would my vested interest in this be?

Coal Seam Gas. Fracking. You wasted a number of one word and one sentence posts on this issue before, confidently proclaiming that there is no danger posed to human health from fracking, despite increasing evidence that there is and/or could be.

Never made a single comment on this.

What did you say my vested interest was?
