Another Obama "scandal"? Cell phones are assisting in the gradual annihilation of honeybees!

[zulchzulu]

Since Obama is apparently responsible for anything gone wrong since we want our President to be Big Daddy, will this news about cell phones killing off honeybees be Obama's fault?

If only Fix News knew...

...researchers in India believe that cell phones are assisting in the gradual annihilation of something that so many find especially endearing: the honeybee.

According to the Telegraph, researchers at the Punjab University in Chandigarh decided to investigate whether the arrival of the cell phone might have had something to do with the departure of the honey maker.

Many countries are seeing significant declines in their bee populations. Naturally, climate change, pesticides, and viruses are just three of the commonly proposed possible culprits. However, the Indian researchers thought there might be something else involved, so they decided to perform a controlled experiment. They placed a couple of cell phones around a hive, with a couple of fake ones around another hive; a third hive had no cell phones at all.

To their controlled surprise, three months of observation led them to conclude that the hive with the real cell phones experienced a significant reduction in its population. The queen bee laid fewer than half the number of eggs that the one in the fake cell phone hive did, and neither honey nor pollen was anywhere to be found.

Will Obama take the blame for this disaster? Will he?

1. The really funny thing about this is...

After the cellphone-honeybee story was more or less totally debunked, the most avid supporters of the theory pretty much vanished altogether.


Still, it probably is Obama's fault, just like everything else.
