Writing in in Trends in Biotechnology, the research team suggests that the government protected field site, which will be dedicated for use in studies of genetically modified (GM) crops, could act as an example to other European countries interested in pursuing crop biotechnology. "This could be a model for other European countries that wish to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of GM crops in an objective and scientific manner with less risk of vandalism," said Jörg Romeis of Zurich's Agroscope Reckenholz-Tänikon Research Station.

Honeybees  may soon be able to communicate their poor health to beekeepers as a result of major new research which looks set to transform the practice of beekeeping and halt the worrying decline of the sector in Europe. A consortium – initiated by Nottingham Trent University and the Bee Farmers Association of the United Kingdom (BFA) – has launched a €1.4m EU-funded study, which aims to monitor and decode the buzzing of bees in the hive and pass crucial information to beekeepers via wireless technology.
