Cell Phones May Be Cause of Bee Decline

Researchers in northern India have found a connection between cell phone usage and the decline in honeybees in some parts of the world. The study found that cell phones, when fitted to a hive and powered up for two 15-minute periods each day caused the bees to stop producing honey and cut egg production by the queen in half. The U.S. has seen a 30 percent decline in bee population since 2006. Aside from providing honey, bees are estimated to pollinate 90 commercial crops worldwide. (CNN) Read more.
