Bayer CropScience is facing scrutiny because of the effect one of its best-selling pesticides has had on honeybees.
A German prosecutor is investigating Werner Wenning, Bayer’s chairman, and Friedrich Berschauer, the head of Bayer CropScience, after critics alleged that they knowingly polluted the environment.
The investigation was triggered by an Aug. 13 complaint filed by German beekeepers and consumer protection advocates, a Coalition against Bayer Dangers spokesman, Philipp Mimkes, said Monday.
(Article continues below)
The complaint is part of efforts by groups on both sides of the Atlantic to determine how much Bayer CropScience knows about the part that clothianidin may have played in the death of millions of honeybees.
Bayer CropScience, which has its U.S. headquarters in Research Triangle Park, said field studies have shown that bees’ exposure to the pesticide is minimal or nonexistent if the chemical is used properly.

Anyone out there still taking Bayer asprin? Don’t you think it’s a little scary that a company that makes medicine – is also making pesticides?
The poisoning of the bees is a clear sign of how dangerous these compounds are on the health of the population. They are murdering in the name of profits.

All these big multi-national pharma/bio companies remind me of that company from the Resident Evil games – Umbrella Corporation.
For all those that havn’t played the games – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbrella_Corporation

How is it possible this company, after the AIDS scandal, could still be in business?
Cause so many idiots still buy their products.
We need to do a better job exposing these creeps.

Wake up people! The people that run the Bayer Corp. are in league with the world power elite! Why do you think they are still getting away with this crap! Most of the largest Corporations in the entire world are being controlled by the world power elite. And you though Bill Gates was rich… He is trailer trash compared to these guys. Why do you think the bible says that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven? The richest of the rich are satanists, they always have been and they always will be. Even back when Jesus was still human the richest of all were evil satan worshipers, why do you think they killed him?

When the American consumers stop paying BAYER for their crap, Bayer will go away. Until then, why should they? I mean, if that AIDS scandal (which was reported on CNN) didn’t put a dent in Bayer’s armor, then I guess THEY WIN.
