Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) occurs when a hive's inhabitants
suddenly disappear, leaving only queens, eggs and a few immature
workers. The vanished bees are never found, but thought to die singly
far from home. The parasites, wildlife and other bees that normally
raid the honey and pollen left behind when a colony dies, refuse to go
anywhere near the abandoned hives.

The alarm was first sounded last autumn, but has now hit half of all
American states. The West Coast is thought to have lost 60 per cent of
its commercial bee population, with 70 per cent missing on the East
Coast.

German experiments have shown that cell phones disrupt a bee
navigation system.

Now THAT is interesting!

Has the demise of our bee populations been directly linked to the
increasing popularity of cellphones?

I HATE cellphones except for emergencies!

Maybe people will have to choose between pointless babbling and their
food sources!
