That is the question! So, it looks like the biggest threat to human existence might not be a half-witted fella who lives in a white house, after all, but something far more unassuming, the humble mobile phone. Apparently the Honeybee has difficulties navigating when it gets bombarded with mobile phone signals. As much as 70% of the Honeybee poulation may already have been wiped out ! So you may think, "What's a few bees?" Well bear in mind that Honeybees pollinate our flowers, and that includes crops. No crops pollinated.... no crops! No crops.... hungry people! Hungry people.... anarchy! As someone from Invergordon pointed out to me today, every insect plays a crucial role on this planet. Should we continue to wipe out species at the rate we're going, it stands to reason that at some stage, even the loss of the smallest creature could have a massive impact on our lives. Here endeth todays lesson!
