You may be killing the bees.

And not just any bee - the honey bee (apis mellifera).

"So what?" you may ask, but without this amazing and productive little insect, our nation's food crop is at great risk.

Nationwide, thousands of honey bees are disappearing from managed apiaries and small scale hobbyists - a phenomenon identified as Colony Collapse Disorder ("CCD").  It continues to spread at an alarming rate and now scientists believe that cell phones may be a component in the CCD epidemic.

If cell phones are found to be the key culprit in destroying our major pollinators, would you be willing to limit your use of your cell phone?

Albert Einstein is quoted in one article as having said, "...if the bees disappeared, man would have only four years of life left."

Einstein also once said, "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."  So are we only willing to do nothing?

More articles on the current widespread outbreak of Colony Collapse Disorder can be found here.

So while the government is trying to scare us to death over a potential bird flu pandemic, we may be talking our food supply into non-existence.
