Are mobile phones wiping out our bees?

Good story in the Independent today - Scientists claim radiation from handsets are to blame for mysterious 'colony collapse' of bees

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.

This could have a major impact on the food industry in the United States, where as much as $14 billion worth of agriculture business depends on bees for crop pollination.
