The Mysterious Lives of Bees…
So a couple of months ago I read a story in the New York Times about the alarming and unprecedented decline in the bee population in the United States. Scientists were worried, no pathogen had been found, no cause could be determined, and yet millions of bees had left the planet. The Independent (a paper in the UK) ran a follow up this story about a very scary hypothesis regarding the missing bees… They conjectured that perhaps, just perhaps, all of the radiation from cell phones and other high frequency electronic devices was interfering with the bees’ ability to navigate. If that is the case, I imagine it is going to be very, very hard to prevent many many more bees from dying, and who knows what the full environmental fallout will be.

“It seems like the plot of a particularly far-fetched horror film. But some scientists suggest that our love of the mobile phone could cause massive food shortages, as the world’s harvests fail.”
