They think it’s cell phones.
Sure. As the article says, "The phenomenon was first noticed late last year in the United States..."
That would be right after the introduction of cell phones in the USA last fall. Or maybe it took this long for the bees to get listed.
A more reasonable suggestion faults the sunspot cycle.
Every year, one or two swarms move into the walls of our 200 year old farmhouse. We’ve already seen them this year. Last year, they were swarming all around the house! It was a little unnerving. Also, we don’t have cell phone service out here, so nobody in our area can use cell phones. Coincidence?
I think it is because the DEMS took Congress.
One teensy weensy problem with that theory. 800 Mhz RF has been around a LOT longer than cellular......
It might be the bees are looking for the pods of pilot whales that keep going ashore for no reason. A coming together of a mass life-form, mind melt. You know, the thing that Spock did with that rock that was in silent pain. Maybe bees are from whales? Like Gary Sinese said in that Mars movie, “They’re us. We’re them.” Whew....man I’m bored.
