Interesting and VERY distressing if true.

We cannot afford to lose the bees....

"Dr. Daniel Favre, a former biologist with the Swiss Federal Institute
of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, carefully placed a mobile
phone underneath a beehive and then monitored the reaction of the
workers."

"This study shows that the presence of an active mobile phone disturbs
bees -- and has a dramatic effect," Favre told the Daily Mail.

If Dr. Favre carefully placed a glowing crucible of molten steel under
the hive and found that this disturbed the worker bees, would this
prove that steel production is damaging the bee population?

It seems evident why Dr. Favre is a *former* biologist with etc etc.

I couldn't have said it better. My question was going to be, "So, somebody
went to each of those hives that all the bees disappeared from and stuck
their mobile phone under it?

Well, don't do that! Duh!

Thanks,
