COLONY COLLAPSE DISORDER

I have become really worried about what is happening to the bees. Bees are disappearing across the world- the US, the UK, Europe, Asia. "25-50 percent of US American beekeepers reported losses due to CCD. During the past six months, 50-90 percent of their bees had disappeared." (Gaigg 2007:1) The note thats being passed around is that without bees, our ecology would collapse in four years. Bees provide honey, but they also pollinate many crops and wild plants.

Mobile phones and their towers may or may not be the culprit for these mysterious bee disappearances. CCD has been reported in the US before, about 50 years ago. A fungus was attacking the bees' brains. Using your phone less might be a good idea in general. Just ask the bees.
