Hey, maybe we're a little behind on this, but we wanted you to know that your phones aren't killing bees. There was a flurry of ecogeeky concern--one friend of ours went into graphic (and yet still very boring) detail--that cell phone frequencies were confusing bees and causing them to die. And so it is with glee that EcoGeek types the following sentence: Fear not; it's merely a parasite.

Totally fair. Mostly, I found it funny that a downgrade from cellphones to parasites was considered a favorable situation, considering that it took the responsibility (and, with it, our own ability to stop the problem) out of our hands. Some cause for celebration! Free weekend minutes versus a major breakdown in the food chain.
It's true that it appears to still be up in the air.
Hey!

Science, technology gadgets and...baby seals. We're in a bit of an eco-mess, but we've got the brains to lick any problem. And that's why EcoGeek.org publishes up to ten stories daily about innovations that are saving the planet.
And if that sounds interesting to you, then congratulations, you're an EcoGeek.

"But the results are "highly preliminary" and are from only a few hives from Le Grand in Merced County, UCSF biochemist Joe DeRisi said. "We don't want to give anybody the impression that this thing has been solved."
I don't understand how you can be so conclusive...
