    the dumbing down of our populace is also evidenced by reactions to stories like this

    As a beekeeper I am frusturated by the feedback from John and Jane Doe.

    Does anyone read and try and understansd these kinds of articles? It does not sound like it when we get all of these ignorant questions and stupid ideas floated.

    Like West Nile,.....duh...did you read the article at all? Its an interview of scientists not some one sitting on a bar stool postulating about the possible causes.

    BTW that disengenuos claim that organic beekeepers are unaffected does not explain that the 1000 member mail list is mostly back yard ameturs and hobbysists. The fact is ALL smaller beekeepers who leave there hive staitionary year around are not beign affected not just the granola munching dope heads.

    No mattter what credentials someone has that refutes the cell phone/microwave laughable theory we always have some basement scientist wearing a tin foil hat claiming that EMF's are the cause of a bee decline.
