A woman came back from the south of France sometime around 1997, and told us (a group of Theosophy Society members in Edinburgh) that bees were dying in their millions rather than acquire nectar from GM crops & flowers or anything that was near them; And hence you have the reason for bees dropping in numbers. Also, 1990s wine writers were commenting on both Belgian beers & French Champagne & Spanish Freixenet.....all being sub-standard since 1988 - the year of a certain spraying of crops with a certain pesiticide. The Belgian Trappist monks told people they noticed an immediate sudden alteration in the quality of fermentation, it was visible on the surface of the beers deep inside the caves, yet the pesticide had been sprayed a few miles away from them........but the chemical composition of the air had been sufficiently altered, & never was to be the same again.
