'This could potentially have far reaching effects on our food supply' ( quote ) As usual, our immediate concern is ourselves!!.... Our food supply? Shouldn't we be beginning to be more concerned about the results of our egostical behaviour on the planet and animals? If cell phones are really the cause of the gradual decline of a species, shouldn't we be thinking about ridding ourselves of such devices? The world turned perfectly well before phones! If we did this....not only bees but humans would greatly benefit from the silence!! Time we woke up!!!

I agree with you Jill. Personally I rarely use a cell phone and I often wonder what impact all these electonic signals that are passing through us every day will have on us long term.

Hi Warren,

From what I've ascertained the Bee's are simply not returning to their hive. This prompts one to ask what they utilize for navigation. Do they use Pheromones or an internal magnetic compass. If it is the latter, then perhaps there is another explanation for the decline. The Earth's Magnetic Field is collapsing with portions of the North and South Magnetic Poles currently reversed. We are about to experience a Polar shift, which Scientist's have proven has occurred on at least four previous occasions.

This is a perplexing situation, however, if the decline is due to the magnetic disruption then perhaps reducing the distance from the hive to the area of pollination may increase survivability.

Most of the science on the dead bees seems to indicate a fungus or parasite. Cause has been attributed to pesticides as a possible source. I personally feel that some of the human mystery diseases like Morgellons are coming from the same source. I don't think radio waves have anything to do with this. Our planet is being systematically poisoned to eradicate life. Our water, food and air are full of toxic substances. The bee disappearance seems to match the emergence of Morgellons disease in humans. The one thing all humans should be demanding is what is in the chemicals being sprayed on all of us. In Vancouver we get sprayed every day.. The hospital ER's are full of respiratory problems immediately. No one in any government is doing anything to stop the spraying. No one knows what is in the crap that comes down on us. We just get sick! So do the Bees! Is it by design??!!!

So far, noone has been able to figure out what the parasite or fungus is that is killing off hives. Let's hope that the surviving bees gain immunitysoon. Not all bees are dying, so, that should be a measure of hope. As for the idea that the earth may have a shift in it's poles, there is much evidence that shows it happened severl times in the past and as late as 12 to 13,000 years ago (about the time the great glacier retreated). It seems that we are due for a realignment again. Just be on high ground when it happens. LOL
