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????

As the upward arching cost of energy continues, many do it yourself newbies and hobbyists see the long term price and savings from making an investment in their own alternative electricity, generated from the free replenish-able resources available at their home.

This indirect strategy generates electrical power by splitting water to make hydrogen fuel thru a method known as synthesised photosynthesis. The sturdiness of photovoltaic DIY solar energy panels, together with easiness of fabrication and installation, make them the perfect alternate power solution for any individual needing to live a ‘greener’ way of life.
