If GMOs are killing bees, it is likely that the cause is Bt varieties that are engineered to produce a substance within the plant itself fthat kill insects . The insects die when they eat the plant, and though only targeted insects are supposed to be effected, there is some anecdotal evidence that humans are effected when they eat it, so non-targeted insects, such as bees, may also be effected.
