Thank you.
I don't have specific examples about GMO alfalfa because that has not been released into the general public at this point. But I was told by a beekeeper that they do have a minimum of a two-mile radius, which is four miles in diameter. They travel that far when they're collecting pollen. I've heard other examples that are quite higher than that.
I was talking to a forage specialist, and I mentioned my concern about these test plots out there. One of them was about 40 miles from my place, so I was quite concerned. I was talking to the forage specialist about getting this moratorium I had mentioned in my presentation—this was after I talked to Ms. Jordan—and he brought it to my attention that the pollen can take alfalfa pollen ten miles. That was a forage specialist who works with the department of agriculture in Manitoba.
Those are not my numbers; I'm telling you their numbers. If you need further research to confirm, then by all means go ahead and do that. I'm just relaying the information I've found out.
