Bees

This is a story that has caught my attention. Honey bees are vanishing. I don't mean being killed by pesticides. They are simply vanishing: http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/americas/04/22/vanishing.bees.reut/index.html. This is a serious problem, as many of our crops (almonds, apples, blueberries, peaches and cherries, for example) are pollinated by honey bees. The problem isn't resticted to the United States either; similar "vanishings" are being reported in Brazil and Europe, and now Taiwan: http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/TP162481.htm. What is happening to them? Here is one theory: Radio waves from cell phones are interfering with their ability to find their way back to their hives: http://www.kcwebguides.com/kcwebguides/living/food/honey-bees-vanishing-by-t.shtml.
