Title: The foreign press is getting it wrong.

Here is what is happening. A report without a true finding of fact reported that cell phone towers are responsible for CCD. Now the foreign press is saying cell towers are responsible for loss of millions of bees.

*sigh*

I visited to Nokia and they tell that the article does not tell whole truth. (The headquarter is 1 mile from my home). They tell that in small cell bees are able to fly through radio waves and from normal chemical bees waves cut wings off. Nokia try to widden they wavelenght that normal industrial bee is able to fly in the jungle of radio waves.

Motorola uses smaller wavelengt than global Nokia. That is why harms in USA are bigger than in Europe where they use Nokia phones.
Samsung catches only birds.  They told too that topbar hive bees are totally afraid to come out. They will survive as long as there is food in the hive.

From an email I received from Dennis. This not his quote just something funny he sent me:
Here is something you may want to share regarding the cell phones....

from a MD beekeeper Marc Hoffman

my bees use cell phones. They are social insects and I have found once I let them have cell phones it is impossible to control their use. The charges from time overruns can bankrupt even the most efficient apiary operation.
Once they learn to use them they become dependent: They stop
returning to the hive to dance and just phone in the location of their forage discoveries. Furthermore, the increased peer-to-peer communication plays havoc with traditional bee values.
"To heck with pheromones!" they say. "Chemical communication is passe compared with digital." As in many societies, the young are the early adopters, spending their time text messaging instead of doing their jobs. In the end we observe a breakdown in heirarchy and, fatally, anti-royalist sentiment. This, then, is the cause of CCD--foolish notions of independence among the immature, loss of authority of the
elders, breakdown of group cohesion, and collapse of the aristocracy.
