Hate bees? Buy a mobile phone! Wanna stay alive? Destroy it right away!

Einstein once said that if the bees disappeared: ‘Man would have only four years of life left’. This he did not say for nothing, in fact, it is true. The crops need to be pollinated by bees in order to grow. Recently, some scientist claim they have found evidence that radiation from mobile phones disorientates the bees navigation system and prevent the bees to find their way back home. In America and parts of Europe, lots of beehives are found abandoned and the bees have disappeared. Now there is a big chance that crops will fail and the human race will disappear because of crop failures. This all could happen in less than ten years if Einstein is right.

When I read the article I was a bit shocked. Imagine, this is all true, that would mean that if we keep on using phones all human beings will die out in just a couple of years. However, I wonder how come bees died and abandoned their hives only in the last couple of years. We are using mobile phones for almost two decades now. Still I think the scientists have a point and that we should be careful with the use of phones because you can get diseases from it as well. We should also try to find out why the bees keep on dying and find a way to stop it because it can be more serious than we think it is.

  1. That is also the first thing that came up in my mind.. We have been using phones for a while now, so why suddenly this fuss. But sure, we might start thinking about the effects of our acts. Nice blog though.
