Cell Phone Radiation Linked to Worldwide Bee Disappearances

The disappearance of bees is a worldwide problem and researchers in Germany may have found the cause - cell phone radiation.

Scientists have discovered that bees loose their orientation when they are exposed to radiation from cell phones.  Once the bees are disorientated, they loose their way and are unable to return to their hives.  And therefore, are unable to get nutrition and eventually they die.

Beekeepers worldwide are dealing with Colony Collapse Disorder - many bees have disappeared from their hives and therefore the beekeepers’ colonies have been collapsing.

One beekeeper started out his season with 6,000 colonies and ended up with only 1,000 colonies at the end of the season.

There have been other theories as to why bees are disappearing, from toxins to global warming to pesticides.

Regardless of the reason behind Colony Collapse Disorder, consumers will most likely see a rise in food prices as bees are used to pollinate a third of the country’s crops.
