Are involved with the 'exterminating' of this necessary critter???
Will you give up using one? and revert to the older 'land line' phone?

Interesting how the info in this article was 'trumped' the next day - with input calling the disappearance of the bee colony, a mystery. . .

I would definitely like to see some research on this issue. I have heard that bees will not fly near cell phone towers because it disturbs their internal navigation system (for lack of a better phrase).
Without question, if it is confirmed that mobile phones are contributing to "colony collapse" I will stop using my cell phone.

If this were true, hopefully cell phones would be modified to not cause such interference or made illegal.
Has cell phone use really been posited as a culprit for the disappearance of honeybees?

The brain works with electrical impulses.
What to cell phones give off? Electrical impulses.
Who can say how this may or may not affect our brains & bodies or that of bees.

I cannot use them because they give me migraines. I had one once for two months and had a headache the entire time. Then I read about a Swedish study that showed some people get migraines from them; I shut mine off, and my headache went away.
Naturally, all the research in the world will not stop Motorola from wargaming against legitimate science:

Take your pick: Do you want to use a landline or do you want infertility, brain cancer, and the loss of honey and countless types of vegetation?

Life would go on without cell phones. We did just fine without them for hundreds of thousands of years.
Life would NOT go on without the bees.
I choose life without the annoying ring-tones over extinction.
Is that mother nature saying, "Can you hear me now?"

Cell phones killing bees is another boogy man... It's kind of a cool rumor though and it's amazing what people will believe.

Go to fact or fiction web site. I think this is an urban myth.
