What is the impact of the disappearance of bees going to have on food and renewable resources?

landlocked asked:
A friend who is a beekeeper in NE Iowa has lost all of his hives, and tells me 60% of all hives in the US have ‘died’ out. I was buying bee’s wax from him, but there is no more to buy. As we live in the middle of corn country, there has been no discussion either locally or at the national level about this crisis. Seems like this should be considered a serious threat to our national security, and may well impact everyone who consumes fruits, veggies, ethanol, etc.. The speculation is that the disappearance is due to cell phones, and microwave transmissions - rather than directly related to global warming. Any thoughts????
