I heard something strange today from one of my coworkers - she said that there's "proof" that cell phones are actually driving away bee populations from areas where they used to be. Now, I don't know if I necessarily believe this, especially since I've had a cell phone since 1998 and I've never heard of this bee crisis until this year. But, maybe there's a tipping point and we've just now reached it - the bees can't stand the electromagnetic radiation we're creating anymore. She mentioned that the "proof" was that there are severely decreased populations along the two coasts of the United States, the areas that have the highest concentrations of cell phone usage. It just seems to me that maybe the bees don't have enough places to hang out on the coasts, mostly because people have completely taken over and are building on the areas that the bees used to live. I don't know, I just think the thought that our phones could be contributing to this bee crisis is pretty freaky. I was considering getting Ryley a cell phone for her birthday, and I suppose that since I got Ashley one I have to do something equally cool for Ryley, but after reading 'Cell' by Stephen King, I'm trying my hardest to think of something else.
Bees scared off by cell phones... what comes next?
And if the bees all die off, won't we as well? Why is this not a huge crisis that they're talking about like crazy on the news all the time? Is our media being pushed around by the government too?
Ick. I stubbed my toe and it hurts - maybe that's where these deep thoughts are coming from. I've gotta go mush out to Ghost Hunters.
Peace.
