Re: Disappearing bees

i think this is another sensationalist report that appeals to the technophobe and luddite. ive always been under the impression that honey bees use the sun for orientation between hive and food source and thats the purpose of the 'waggle dance'.
it would seem strange that mobile phones and the masts would affect bees when seemingly high voltage electricity cables dont. im not saying it isnt a possibility just i think its unlikely.
whatever the truth i dont posses a mobile phone so i can feel smug.
