In an annual survey released on Wednesday by the Bee Informed Partnership, a consortium of universities and research laboratories, about 5,000 beekeepers reported losing 42.1 percent of their colonies in the 12-month period that ended in April.

And how, exactly, does that affect the many solar powered devices around the planet? Or the microhydro sites and small scale wind turbines? Or the RGT powered lighthouses and research equipment?

There's lots of stuff designed to be off the grid, or to work specifically when the grid fails, so the loss of the grid is definitely NOT "it".

Comment Re:Probably the Oxford Electric Bell (Score 1) 403

Nope. Static electricity. One bell is positively charged, and the other negatively. The clapper is attracted to one of the bells, gets charged and is thus repelled. It is attracted to the other bell, where the charge is dissipated and the clapper picks up the opposite charge. The cycle then repeats.
