On the Track of Bee Deaths Sources
Bees have been dying en masse across the country, a dangerous situation when you depend on the critters for both honey and doing the lion's share, as it were, of polination of many foods. But according to the Los Angeles Times, researchers may be making headway into finding the source. A single-cell parasite could be a contributing cause, though a real understanding of the problem is nowhere at hand. However, this is a first break in a problem that has been leaving scientists baffled. Apparently a report that cell phone radition was the cause was less than accurate.
