But it makes sense that if it was hitting areas that far apart, the rest of the planet would start seeing it too. I have a secret theory that it is not chemicals of any variety, but RF and microwave saturation. The last report I read said that the bees were not dying in the hive, they were leaving as usual and not coming back. Basically they were getting lost on the way home. Since nobody has actually ever figured out for sure how bees find their way home, interference from cell phone towers and other sources is as good a guess as any. NightMist Hmm, could be high power electrical fields or something messing with the bees sense of direction too. Or maybe it's the same thing that leads healthy whales to stray up rivers and onto beaches. I just hope the scientists figure it out and find a solution before it's too late. Debra in VA See my quilts at http://community.webshots.com/user/debplayshere Wired had an article on this - their speculation involved a newly available chemical which messed up the bees' direction sense - leave the hive and can't find it again. We have some bees around here - they like the thyme, lavender, mexican sage, and privet in our landscaping. liz young in warm california |
