hmm so i didnt read most of the thread but i did hear about this.

its not cell phones, there has been no dramatic increase in cell phone use between now and last year, or last year and the year before. What ever is wrong with the bees, it has to be something dramatically different between now and last year. this also rules out global warming, thought it maybe contribute in small ways. I personally have no idea what it is, but i think its gonna be a new virus, or disease. its not gonna be genetically modified foods either. GMF have been used for a long time, and doesnt explain a sudden drop in the pop, although you could make the arguement, if it is a new virus/disease, that the new gene in the plants could be from a plant the bees are not used to, that plant, had a virus, that it carried with it, that virus jumped species, and bam, the bees have no natural resistance and get whiped out. knowing what i know about GMFs it is extremely unlikely cause viruses dont follow genes, nor do all GMFs have new genes in the. Often, and this is especially the case in plants that grow faster, they just but a better promoter in the plant, at that gene. if you have any experience in biology you'd know what that means. and how harmless it is.
