What's For Dinner?

Tonight's Guests: George Naylor, Steve Ellis, Michael Mayer Pesticide resistant weeds and massive disappearance and death of the U.S. honeybees - a farmer and two beekeepers lay out their perspective on managing weeds and protecting bees in the context of United States GM commodity crops. Glyphosate and neonicotinoids poison bees' food, kill the bees, and destroy their forage. Even without being combined with 2,4-D into Enlist Duo, their impact is huge. This week's show and the extra interview are with guests George Naylor, who grew up weeding soybeans and now uses conventional herbicides to grow non-GM soy and corn; commercial beekeeper Steve Ellis, who trucks 1300 hives between Minnesota and California annually and works with EPA regulators to protect bees; and Michael Mayer, commercial beekeeper in central Missouri for 42 years.
