Not every anti-GMO person is against all GMOs. There are many anti-GMO people that see the potential good from such technology, but they think the science is lacking. They are not anti-science, they are pro-science. They want more testing and research to be done so as to better understand the potential consequences (like bees dying off). They believe the technology is ahead of the ethics. It is the lack of science on many things that lead us to be stupid with those things: mercury tonics, lobotomies, etc.

The main culprit for the bee thing are neon ocotillos, which have nothing at all to do with GMOs. This illustrates my main objection with your argument actually. Most folks who are positing that more science is needed aren't even vaguely aware of the existing science.

Zero risk = zero innovation. I'm not claiming science has it all figured out (an impossibility) but it does have this stuff figured out well enough to take some tiny risks here and there.
