Billions of bees die from Monsanto herbicide glyphosate
- A study at the University of Texas (USA) has shown that glyphosate reduces the presence of healthy bacteria in the intestine of bees.
According to Erick Motta, a university research student, “there are guidelines that say the herbicide isn’t painful, but we’ve seen that that’s a lie.” The result of the investigation has shown that: “Bees have eight healthy bacteria in their gut and have the role of protecting them from bad bacteria. Because of glyphosate, half of the healthy bacteria lose their function.”
Glyphosate is a herbicide that was created 37 years ago by the multinational Monsanto, the main producer of genetically modified seeds and whose products are marketed in Spain. According to a study conducted by the Global Research Center, “from the moment of its creation, Monsanto is aware of the consequences of glyphosate”.
Specifically, California justice has condemned Monsanto to pay a fine of $289 million. Since 1984 there have been suspicions about the damage caused by glyphosate, but the multinational has been fined for the first time in August this year.
