MORE ON CELLPHONES AND BEES: “Most important, bees navigate primarily via polarized light, which is in a completely different part of the EM spectrum from radio waves. How radio waves could possibly impact their use of light for navigation (any more than it does humans’ use of light for navigation) is at best nonintuitive, so I would never believe it until I saw the published paper showing me the evidence. I am not holding my breath for that paper to appear.”

UPDATE: Ron Bailey looks at claims that biotech crops, not cellphones, are killing bees. Why don’t activist groups ever blame things that they don’t already dislike?
