Beekeepers all over the United States have been experiencing record losses of honeybees, according to Organic Consumers Association. Some states have reported up to 70% disappearance of commercial bee populations since November of 2006. This trend is not reversing.

Researchers are investigating the causes of this mysterious and massive disappearance of bees. The problem has an official name: colony-collapse disorder (CCD), and is also occurring in Europe, to a lesser extent.

Some think its the cell phone towers and cellular communication harming the Bees.( read below)

Why are bees important? "Honeybees are responsible for one of every three bites of food we eat. Each year, they pollinate 14 billion dollars' worth of crops and seeds in the U.S. alone. Their total decimation would be catastrophic from the local to the global level - failed businesses, skyrocketing food prices, unsustainable labor costs, and depleted supplies of fruits, nuts, vegetables, plants, and more," says Paul Shaeffer of ENN (Environmental News Network).

Honeybees pollinating crops, such as corn and canola, add an estimated 5 billion dollars to U.S. agricultural income by boosting yields and quality. Therefore, many farmers became deeply concerned when beekeepers in most states started to report the mysterious colony collapses.

Researchers have developed at least six distinct reasons for the mass deaths of the bees, including a virus (bee AIDS), GMO crop exposure, pesticide exposure, mites, cell phones, and, believe it or not, bees "wearing themselves out creating crop circles" (which, this researcher postulated, would explain two mysteries simultaneously).

Beekeeper Dave Hackenberg, of Lewisburg, Pa., rents out his bees as migrant laborers, shipping hives around the country as crops come into flower and need pollination. Like baseball teams, his and many other big bee operations retire to Florida for the winter to get their workforce in shape for the stresses of the upcoming season.

But when Hackenburg checked on his hives there last November, he found that they were not recovering at all.

Non-organic bees are routinely exposed to pesticide exposure, genetically modified crops, and the common practice of moving conventional beehives over long distances.

In contrast, organic beekeepers across North America are NOT experiencing colony collapses. Organic beekeepers avoid pesticides and toxic chemicals and strive to use techniques that closely emulate the ecology of bees in the wild.

Imagine the scenario where food production is drastically reduced. What if humans began to experience "colony collapses?". It would probably be the only way to save our Earth; unless we all, quickly, commit to not polluting, only eating organic foods, avoiding plastics and drugs and voting for leaders who insist on prioritizing planetary healt

Cell Phones To Blame For Deserted Bee Colonies?

A small study from Landau University in Germany suggests that the navigational capabilities of honeybees may be adversely affected by radiation from GSM cell phones. The findings could provide an answer to the mystery of disappearing bee colonies across the Western world.

The cell phone study, conducted by Landau's Jochen Kuhn, was originally presented at a German Informatics and Cybernetics conference back in 2003. It focused on the effects of cell phone radiation on the neurological mechanisms that control learning and memory. Placing handsets near hives, Kuhn observed that GSM cell phone radiation in the frequency range 900 MHz - 1800 MHz caused the bees to avoid the hive. Kuhn speculates that the "waggle" dance that bees perform on the honeycomb to communicate with others could be influenced by the radiation.

Not all scientists agree that the dance is the primary means of communication between bees, but past studies have shown that it can fundamentally affect bee movement patterns. Kuhn suggests that the 200 - 300 cycles/second oscillations that dancing bees produce through honeycomb may be interrupted by a resonance effect caused by the telephone handsets.

First observed in the United States, the phenomenon of disappearing hive populations - known as colony collapse disorder - has now spread to Europe and Britain. The disorder causes bees to desert hives en masse, leaving only immature bees and queens. What happens to the errant bees is a mystery, but scientists speculate that they die while wandering far from their home hive. The disorder, now affecting two-thirds of American hives, is causing increasing alarm because of the critical role bees play in pollination.
