Question

Is their a linkage to the shortage of honeybees due to the popularity of cell phones???

Answer 1

No of course not. Another stupid story someone invented. I have a bunch of active hives at the end of my property if you want to come and get some.

ps -- you may be right. Perhaps the bees just chat on the cells now instead of visiting each other.

Answer 2

While cell phone signals do disrupt the way in which some bees communicate, the phones have to be within a few feet of the bee or hive to have any result. The decline of bees is due to the persistence of pesticides in the environment, particularly permethrin and DDT. Yes, I know DDT has been banned for years, but its half life is several hundred years and it is still detectable everywhere in the world; even antartica.

Answer 3

Wow.  That's pretty much plagiarism.
