As well as the pesticides it is the radiation emitted by the cell phone towers that went up in 1994. If you can get a cell phone signal then there is microwave radiation present. Another factor is the HAARP array in Alaska and now in Antartica. The strength of this array was dramatically increased in 2006.

German scientists have been researching this for decades. It is not a surprise to them.

The radiation destroys the bees immune systems so they can no longer fight off infestations form parasites, mites nor pesticide damage, which they used to be able to do to a certain extent. The radiation also interferes with the bees navigation and communication capabilities.

There are several good publications which explain the science in depth. Please see:

I liked the article a lot, but the problem is that it identified the issue with cell phones, but did not give a solution to the problem, only leaving us to believe that we should abandon the technology as the only solution. I, personally, have a special diode I purchased that takes the cell phone waves being emitted and turns them into friendly waves that render them harmless. The cost was about $50, but I feel it was well worth it. I now talk on the phone for extended times and know that the waves being emitted will not affect me.

Do you think this could also apply to wasps and hornets?
I have always had problems with the critters around my house. Last February I had a Hughes 2-way Satellite internet service system installed, and this past Summer I saw very few of the little pests.

UPDATE:
CATASTROPHIC BEE COLONY COLLAPSE IS NOT AFFECTING ORGANIC HIVES
As previously reported in Organic Bytes (Issue #104), beekeepers in 24 states are experiencing record losses of honeybees. Some states have reported up to 70% disappearances of commercial bee populations. Researchers are struggling to find the causes of this mysterious collapse. A crucial element of this story, missing from reports in the mainstream media, is the fact that organic beekeepers across North America are not experiencing colony collapses. The millions of dying bees are hyper-bred varieties whose hives are regularly fumigated with toxic pesticides by conventional beekeepers attempting to ward off mites. In contrast, organic beekeepers avoid pesticides and toxic chemicals and strive to use techniques that closely emulate the ecology of bees in the wild. Researchers are beginning to link the mass deaths of non-organic bees to pesticide exposure, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the common practice of moving conventional bee hives over long distances.

I just went into a local health food store in Charlotte, N.C., and found that ALL the local bulk honey was gone, and that they only had about one-quarter bucket left of organic (can't remember where it was from)!

Has anyone else had this experience?

Your fear tactics are appalling. Every week it's something new to ruin our lives and can only be fixed by purchasing some product on your website.
If you had real scientific proof as evidence, fear mongering would not be necessary. Theory and correlation is not proof. It does sell products though.

UCSF scientists have identified two suspects in the massive die-off of half a million bee colonies in the US. Joe DeRisi, PhD, and Don Ganem, MD, both Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigators at UCSF, have used a powerful combination of a "virus chip" — a microarray with DNA samples of most known viruses and fungi — and "shotgun" sequencing, which identifies telltale DNA from random samples of the biological sample.

The Army's Edgewood Chemical Biological Center at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland sent DeRisi samples to analyze from bees in the Central Valley of California. DeRisi and Ganem identified a parasite known to have caused massive bee losses in the last decade, making it a candidate as a culprit responsible for bee collapse in the US. The parasite is called Nosema ceranae, a so-called microsporidian fungus — a small, single-celled parasite that mainly has been associated with affecting Asian bees, and is thought to have jumped to the Western honeybee in the last few years. The shotgun approach succeeded in this search, as the microarry does not include this species' DNA.

The lab's search for culprits using the micorarray, however, also netted a second potential killer, a virus from the genus Iflavirus, which has been implicated in a number of problems in the bee industry.

"The next — and very critical — step is to assay other failing hives around the country and the world to measure to what degree these pathogens we have identified are also associated with bee collapse elsewhere," DeRisi said. "We can't say that because the bees in Central Valley may have fallen to one or both

There was an article in our paper on Sunday about this. It said " The scientist who wrote the paper, Stefan Kimmel, emailed The Associated PRess to say there is "no link between our tiny little study and the CCD-phenomenon...anything else said or written is a lie."" The article goes on further to say "And U.S. Department of Agriculture top bee researcher Jeff Pettis laughs at the tida because whenever he goes out to investigate dead bees, he can't get a signal on his cellphone because the hives are in such remote areas."

Although, further study may prove this theory correct, this particular story appears to have been blown out of proportion for the time being.

My home has lawns grown organically, without the use of pesticides and herbicides, and I have wild zones in various places around the property with plantings of honeysuckle, asparagus, mints, blackberries, fruits trees and jasmine.

I used to have honey bees, ground bees, bumble bees, and microbees as regular visitors to my yard. For the past three years, I have had few or no bees here of any kind.

I suspect that the theories offered at the Mercola site might explain the bee dieoff, but I have observed a disappearance of other visitors that I am at a loss to explain.

My yard used to have humming birds visit for years, and I planted things they liked, but I have not seen a humingbird in five years. This year, I have seen no houseflies outside, but have found many dead and inside in my basement. I have seen no praying mantises for two years, although I have had them in my yard for over twenty years. I have had no butterflies this year, and very few last year. I have found no moths, and no caterpillers this year, even though I have had some every other year.

What I do find are weird huge roaches, many colonies of ants, and various birds.

Has anyone else noticed the disappearance of insects normally connected with spring. This is creeping me out.

Another factor I believe which is being overlooked are the amount of chemicals used to treat lawns, golf courses, any large grassy area that once contained wild flowers, dandelions, creeping charlie, etc., are all being snuffed out. Where is a bee to go????

Although anything is possible the "Cell Phone Connection" appears to me as disinformation in order to draw the focus away from other possible true reasons. Dr. Mercola's concerns about cell phones effecting the health of cell phone users is certainly valid, but I can't see this effecting bees at the level we are witnessing today. So far all I hear is statesments lacking any factual evidence. The argument sounds logical, as all disinformation does (global warming?), yet not all that appears logical is true.

Cell phones are not a new phenomenon. However, what is new and agressively implemented is the DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) biological dectection and documentation programs utilizing a mixture of barium salts as a carrier for special polymer fibers that are detrimental to humans and animals but are favorable to Fungus.

There is the Navy's RFMP (Radio Frequency Mission Planner) and the UTRPE (Variable Terrain Radio Parabolic Equation) subprogram that produces virtual 3-D terrain visability on screen. This also requires heavy atmospheric concentrations of barium salts over land.

As I mentioned in my article reviewing the Discovery Channel's Chemtrails "Best Evidence" presentation the barium and strontium in these chemtrails ARE A MAJOR ISSUE. There are also other very highly toxic elements (I did not mention in the article) being used that I detect on every patient that comes to my office since the Spring of 2006. These can also used in high frqency electronics, but more importantly can easily begin the gradual process of dismantling our immune systems...and who knows what in bees, just as easily

Do you think any of these could be the real contributing factors?

Hi we had lots of butterflys for years and when they started spraying for misqitos from air planes we do go to have 3 or 4 butterflys now. could the spray killed the bees we have no bees but lots of misquitos. I enjoy your articals thanks keep up the good work Dr. Mercola. Please write about salt water in the meat that is 13% It makes BP go up please check at walmart chicken is really bad. Also Problems with endoscope dammage to intestines ,stomach ,and makes lots of pain and gas and drs dont care.

I want to comment on the Fox interview.....Dr.Mercola, weither you know it or not that interview was the best thing that could happen. Weither it was positive or negative doesn't matter cause it sent out a buzz and an awakening.If only a few people get it then it is still a few people more then without that interview. Don't worry it will start things opening in the universe and some will get it and the rest....well.....we know what will happen
