MONSANTO RESISTANT BEES ILEGALLY SEIZED

Years of research on bees destroyed

The Illinois Agriculture Department illegally seized privately owned bees from renowned naturalist, Terrence Ingram, without providing him with a search warrant and before the court hearing on the matter, reports Prairie Advocate News. 

Behind the obvious violations of his Constitutional rights is Monsanto. Ingram was researching Roundup’s effects on bees, which he’s raised for 58 years. "They ruined 15 years of my research," he told Prairie Advocate, by stealing most of his stock.

Inspectors claim that the colonies were infected by bacterial disease.  Ingram wanted to prove that his bees did not have such infection, and planned to do so at a hearing set in April, but the state seized his bees at the end of March. They have not returned them and no one at the Agriculture Department seems to know where his bees are.

The bees may have been destroyed, but there is speculation that they may have been turned over to Monsanto to find out why they are resistant to Roundup.  Without the bees as evidence, Ingram cannot prove his colonies were healthy.

Worse, all his queens died after his property was inspected outside of his presence and without a warrant.

Of note, Illinois beekeepers are going underground after Ingram’s experience and refuse to register their hives, in case the state tries to steal their private property on phony claims.

Natural News reports:

Of particular interest was Ingram's extensive research on Monsanto's Roundup herbicide, which began several years ago when hundreds of Ingram's hives had died.

He later determined that Roundup sprayings near his property were to blame, which prompted him to actively research the subject and closely monitor his hives in conjunction with this research from that point onward.

What he gathered, and subsequently taught to others, was concrete evidence that Roundup kills bees. 

He also used this information and his many years of experience to develop and refine ways of growing strong, chemical-free bees in spite of Roundup sprayings, a move that apparently upset the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

In interview with the Prairie Advocate, Ingram asked, "Is Illinois becoming a police state, where citizens do not have rights?"  (See below.)
