Back in 2009, Dr. Sainuddin Pattazhy, a scientist in Kerala, India brought to the world’s attention a study showing that cell phone towers were responsible for killing off bees. Today Daniel Favre, a Swiss scientist has published another report confirming these findings.

The study – published in the beekeepers’ magazine Apidologie – found that the phone signals confused the bees who began to fly erratically before suddenly dying. (Mail Online)

Since 2006 the alarm bells have been sounded and growing louder and louder:

“One in every three bites of food you eat comes from a plant, or depends on a plant, that was pollinated by an insect, most likely a bee,” said Dennis vanEngelsdorp of Penn State University’s College of Agricultural Sciences.

It has been going on for four years. In 2009 almost 29 percent of the bee colonies in the United States collapsed, say scientists who surveyed commercial beekeepers and brokers. That’s slightly less than the 36 percent loss in 2008 and the 32 percent counted in 2007, but an informal survey just finished suggests that the die-off continues. (ABC News)

What now? Are we going to do something about it, or go as the bees go?
