(10,622 posts)with their business model regarding GMO crops, the ones where you have to buy seeds from them each planting. Perhaps they think that one way to corner the market is to have all crops (that naturally pollinate and reproduce) to become irrelevant if the means of pollination is all but destroyed, then, everybody will have to buy seeds from them for every crop- period, taking natural plant reproduction out of the equation they may see as giving them an advantage in selling the crop seeds that only they can produce,
I think it as a crazy tin foil theory worthy of a fictional Bond villain, but I got nothing else for a theory at the moment for them to want to make sure there are no bees resistant to poisons they produce.
Hopefully, the reasons will be made known and they are no where near as crazy and short sighted as my only theory is, I mean, it is way too crazy and I only came up with it as a thought experiment because I can't see nor understand why they should want something like the impossibility of bees to survive roundup and I just happen to know (among the little I know about their motivations) that they do try to push seeds that do not self propagate, so that once "hooked" on them, you have to keep buying more seeds from them each planting because your crops produced by some of their GMO seeds won't provide replacement seeds for you, and they appear to have engineered them that way on purpose.
