  1. A lot of people are saying that cell-phone signals are interfering with the bee's navigation system making it difficult for them to find their way back to the hives.

    Beekeepers and scientists are saying it's because of some type of insect infestation.

    I'd go with the beekeepers and scientists - they should know better than anyone.


  2. because a mite is killing them as well as temperature change,disease and killer bees.

  3. Maybe people should quit swatting them out of the air with newspapers

  4. First, the idea that the radiation  from cellphones is causing the bee population to decrease, is all a myth.

      Yesterday on the news (it should be on yahoo news or on any news websote), scientists concluded that it was caused by a fungus.  They don't know how to get rid of the fungus yet, but that is the real cause!

  5. feed them the pollin from gm corn they stop breeding

    just as live stock stopped breeding when fed that gm corn from monsanto,

    mon satano gm corn dont breed , we now run our cars on it s corn based mutated genes , sprayed into our air

    the corn wont breed , the pigs wont breed , good thiongs cars dont breed , but hey those who breath those ethinol fumes might want to

    come to think of it no bees no corn , no food why breed right

  6. is it really? Can you prove it? I thought insects were to outlive humans by lightyears!

  7. They've never said definitively what the cause is. There was a recent study that said they think it might be a fungus.

    They warn in the study, that it's highly preliminary so they don't know for certain yet.

    There were also studies with cell phones in Europe.

    I'd put my money on the fungus, but there isn't a definitive answer yet, or a definitive counter argument to either theory.

    Einstein wrote that if the honey bee were to disappear the human race would die in four years. It's pretty scary, even with just a third of the bee population dying off.
