Many thanks for the link to this article, I have read it totally, and as I have the scholarship through the Dept Agriculture, Forestreies and Fisheries in Australia, they will be getting a copy of the article and my observations. Also another recipient of the grant is doing bee studies of a very high calibre in Western Australia. I would say he is the most knowledgeable bee person in Australia. As far as I am aware we don't have these bee problems in Australia, and we don't have GM crops. We all have mobile phones, but not many mobile phone towers. It is certainly a huge concern.
