I just heard a report that scientists concerned with the honey bee decline are looking at the possibility of radiation related to cell phones and transmission towers or something like that may be diorienting the bees so they can’t get home again. Does anyone have more info on this?
I don't give the report any credibility. The "university" put a cell phone near a hive and bees "refused" to return. There are no controls. No replications of the "experiment". No investigation of possible alternatives. Until I see that level of professionalism and scientific method, I treat the "report" as a flim flam anecdote.
Let me add that I am a molecular biologist and radio engineer. I understand both sides of the issue. It's a weak correlation, no proof of causation and no explanation or theory offered to explain the observations.
