If it turns out that cell phone communications are the primary cause of
the recent loss (disorientation) of honey bees, some hard decisions will
have to be made. Do we want the convenience of mobile communications
badly enough to trade it for food?


It appears that the announcement of the cell-phone-honeybee connection
may have been premature. Since that time, another researcher has
discovered a probable link between the beehive die-offs and more
conventional agent of bee destruction, a disease known as nosema, in
this case a particularly virulent strain that has not routinely
affected bees in developed nations. This is not firm yet, mind you,
but this explanation makes more sense at this time.

More as this line of research develops.
