Genetically Modified Ants Could Replace Honey Bees, Claims Monsanto Expert

This reminds me of government creating a problem so they could gain greater power to fix it.
“Latest studies have found a link between neonicotinoid pesticides that are vastly used in GE corn crops. As GE farming has become an essential part of agriculture in today’s modern world, we had to develop ways to promote both the continuity of GE farming and the survival of the honey bees, a fascinating challenge” admits John Leere, head biochemist of the project.
John Leere, head biochemist at Monsanto, believes a genetically modified ant could eventually replace bees, in case of a total collapse of the species
The team of researchers has developed a genetically modified ant that could “possibly save the world’s food supply”.
“Since GE farming and neonicotinoid pesticides are here to stay, we first tried to modify the bees as to increase their immune system to these insecticides, with little or no success” admits the specialist.

Could be biased, too, just like every media source that I know of.
Considering that description, the article appears less biased than most.
