zeplinger Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Not sure how long this theory has been out there, but I just heard there's a theory that radiation and frequencies from mobile phones interferes with bees' navigation systems, preventing the honeybees from keeping up with their natural work polinating, finding their way back to the hives, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 It's been a while but since I've lived here I've had two mass honey bee swarms. It was crazy to watch as they crowded around the queen on the fence and a tree branch. But it's been about 5 years since that's happened and I'm now worried about the bees.

Roisin Dubh Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Insectasides are more likely to be the cause, they kill 'unwanted' insects that are part of the natural ecology. Poisoning bees is just one of the 'adverse side effects'. Bees are not the only insects that pollenate plants. No Pollenation = No Seeds and No Fruits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzldoc Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 No one is quite sure what has caused this although it has happened in the past. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/20...70223-bees.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodey Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Let's line the southern border and states of the US then to wreak havoc on the Brazilian Africanized Killer Bees! What an idea! If we could do that, maybe we could also stem the influx of humans! Where do I sign up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
