Sir: Forty or so acres of GM oilseed rape are being planted near Berkhamsted. I understand that oilseed rape is an important food source for bees. So will my Hertfordshire honey next year contain GM pollen?

Will I have to stop buying honey next year if I wish to exercise the principle of my right to choose not to have GM food? And who will compensate the honey farmers?
