What do you think is killing honeybees?

Question

Now the news states that it could be cell phones?!

Answer 1

i wouldnt say anything is killing them, but global warming is happening and co2 particle per million is increasing faster and faster every year, bees rely on vital information from the sky and earth, whatever we are doing, the bees are sensitive to it. they maybe hiding being confused on where to go due to mixed biosignals the are getting.

Answer 2

On a recent National Public Radio Program, "Living on Earth", this was discussed in depth. Herbicides  or Insecticides, which are being used in mass farming techniques are the cause. The bees become disoriented and cannot find the way back to the hive. There was a warning of this possibly happening by scientists a few years ago but no one heeded the warning. Honeybees are vital for fruit crops.

Answer 3

What does it matter? I mean besides that delicious, goopy treat, honey, what else do they do for us? Sting little kids to death? Probally.

Answer 4

global warming is responsible.

Answer 5

The most likely explanation I have read is that certain pesticides make honeybees lose their ability to find the way back to the hive.  They die away from the hive.  Researchers have not been finding dead bodies of honeybees near the depleted hives.
