Bee disappearance and mobile phones

Research has found a link between the disappearance of bees and mobile phone radiation. Mobiles may be the reason why bees cannot find their way home. The towers interfere with their navigation. This suggests that the love of mobile phones may be the reason why there will be serious famines in coming years as food crops are not fertilised.
In addition it is suggested that mobiles will bring a wave of premature senility as current generations of young phone users become middle age, because they kill brain cells.
Finnish research has also established a link between long-term mobile phone use and brain tumours on the side of the brain where the phone is held.

GM corn linked to bee deaths

A recent study has suggested that the mass deaths of bees in North America and Europe may be linked to genetically modified crops. Bees fed on a diet of GM maize pollen die in large numbers if they are infested by parasites. Healthy bees appear to be not affected.
Bees play a crucial role in agriculture pollenating plants from strawberries, apples and cucumbers to almonds. Without them, the work of bees has to be done by human hand. In the USA, farmers already have to pay bee keepers to bring hives to their crop. Almond growers pay $150 per hive.
The health effect on bees does not occur until the bees are weakened from another source. Similar studies on the effect on unhealthy humans have not been carried out.
"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."
