    I been hearing about this for a few months. Relating it to cell phones is one of the newer theories. Its scary though. We need to get to the bottom of this problem, if we loose all the bees, its not just honey we'll be without. We stand to loose most of our food sources

    Sadly, in this wonderful world of greed, profit comes first......Does anyone really believe that ANY cellphone manufacturer will pause & take a sympathetic view, THOROUGHLY investage & take steps to stop this? No.

    I think that the Cellphone angle has a frightening weight; Any problems that may potentially occur through cellphone usage (including transmitter masts & boosters) will only start to appear some years after prolonged usage.
    I am a professional modelmaker by trade, and some years ago I was involved with a job where a couple of replica human heads were required (resin skulls, with the same wall thickness as real bone with a layer of silicone for skin & muscle tissue....We also did hands). These items were then fitted with sensors to measure radiation absorbed by head & HANDS from a cellphone that was rigged with them.....Not once have HANDS been mentioned in any article I have seen regarding mobile phone radiation absorbtion.....What is the one thing that is in direct contact with that phone other than your ear?
    The job was done for a bunch of scientists investigating cellphone radiation.....None of the three who came to the workshop appeared to have a mobile phone......Doesn't that make you think?

    Sadly, profits come first - The cellphone manufacturers are too busy trying to win the phenominal amounts of disposable income from the waste of space we know as "The Next Generation".....And despite what anyone may say, those kids don't give a f*** about the knock-on effects & the price to be paid for over-indulgence in what todays society throws their way in the form of either must-have gadgets or fast food. It is all down to greed......And that will be what will bring this species down. We probably deserve it too.

    To quote a line from that classic sci-fi film ALIENS: "We're in some real pretty sh*t now!"
