Cell fones and BEES

http://news.independent.co.uk/enviro...cle2449968.ece

Interesting and damn scary. I can fully understand this happening. rf is nothing more than an oscillation at a very high speed. If they use some kind of thing in their bodies to find the hives or to locate things then we're in DEEP chit. Take your pick....eating or talking on the cellfone...

I don't think we've heard the last of this one...

Arrow thats terrible....

there's no real way to pollinate artificially
......Bee's work endlessly !

Even though its a Utopian concept.... if we continue to allow money to be the "ruling philosophy" of how we manage the planet earth .... it will become our demise. At some point the planet will fail ....

One of the reasons....is lack of intelligence... when some young person says... oh i don't care, kill them all! ....i'm allergic or hate bee's... one stung me right here on my arm..it was a hornet or a wasp....i think, but i hate them all...
blab, blabbing always... on the phone about nuthin important.

how would you go about shielding a wooden hive from RF Salty?

is there a way.... ? i've read many horror stories about living next to high tension lines... too.

hive location

bees do a kind of break dance to tell other Bee's where a source of nectar is located and they use their wings to vibrate the directions
to other bee's , while in the hive....

i think they use the reverse directions to find their way back...

perhaps the radio frequency's have proliferated to such a high degree
that it interferes with that process in a similar fashion to how the Navy's use of Sonar to locate "silent running enemy subs" have created mass strandings of whales or even killed them.

Basically that's what I was thinking to myself Craig, bee's wings vibrating are an oscillation...they can oscillate so fast that I bet the resulting NOISE could be some remote radio frequency that we don't even have equipment able to detect. Think VERY small scale.

I can tell you this, I read about 5 articles on this bee thing in the last 6 months now. It really has started to become a major problem not only in the US but also in Eu too...

Fact is...the level of cellular signals has gone up by probably close to 6000% over what it was even 5 years ago. It would not surprise me if by the addition of so many more new "micro cells" that the level of rf has increased in many areas to a factor more than should be allowed...as more and more people buy fones the sites have to increase/be divided more to add capacity, and it's these additional sites that are now bringing stronger and stronger signals into more rural areas.

They very well may be on to something here and if this does indeed prove true then it's going to be a %$%$%$%$ storm if people have to choose between eating or talking on their precious cellular fones.

Wink 50 hives

i managed 50 hives when i lived out west....and it's a difficult endeavor without the diseases.

my father in law managed over 1000 and got me started...

without adequate polination the price of fruit will go sky high.

not just fruit...alot of stuff. I think it's something like 30% of the crops in the world require pollination from bees. scary

This is why I am going to have to policate the fruit trees in my yard this year myself. I do the pumpkin plants I might as well do everything.

I heard recently that we'd basically have food for 3 years after the bees died.
