Mobile Phones Are Killing Bees – Mankind Will Be Extinct In Four Years!

Now for something a little bit different. Some scientists believe that the radiation from mobile handsets is behind the fall in the number of bees, and that this is having a knock-on effect on world food supplies because bees are no longer pollinating crops. Albert Einstein once said that if all the bees disappeared, “man would have only four years of life left”
Quite a chilling prediction, but other species have become extinct because of changes to their ecosystem so why not humans?
According to textually.org:
The theory is that radiation from mobile phones interferes with bees’ navigation systems, preventing the famously homeloving species from finding their way back to their hives. Improbable as it may seem, there is now evidence to back this up.
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) occurs when a hive’s inhabitants suddenly disappear, leaving only queens, eggs and a few immature workers.
The West Coast is thought to have lost 60 per cent of its commercial bee population, with 70 per cent missing on the East Coast.
CCD has since spread to Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece. And last week John Chapple, one of London’s biggest bee-keepers, announced that 23 of his 40 hives have been abruptly abandoned.
So, it’s not going to be global warming or nuclear war that will wipe us out- it’ll be all those mobiles with the annoying ringtones!
