Are Mobile Phones Wiping Out Bees?

Mz6 wrote with a link to an article on The Independent site about a most unusual scientific theory. "Some scientists suggest that our love of the mobile phone could cause massive food shortages, as the world's harvests fail. They are putting forward the theory that radiation given off by mobile phones and other hi-tech gadgets is a possible answer to one of the more bizarre mysteries ever to happen in the natural world — the abrupt disappearance of the bees that pollinate crops."

    Obviously, the decline in bees corresponds directly with the global decline in pirate populations.

    Cell phones? That's silly. All pastafarians know that "global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of Pirates since the 1800s." It's all in The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

    It's obvious that the decline in the number pirates has been largely responsible for global warming.

    Excerpt: (paragraph 10)

    Perhaps the most enigmatic of the bee's senses is their ability to read the Earth's magnetic field. Magnetism is used by many animals, including dolphins and pigeons. The honeybee, however, is more sensitive than any other creature known.

    This is a signpost of nature, if we watch we can learn...
