Cheif, forget about frogs.
When's the last time you saw a horned toad?
We used to have em all aver the place.
How about red ants?
I looked all over for some for my grandkids "ant farm" last year.
I swear, there ain't any around here.
All I have is moles.

Combing thru the replies, I hear you waxing poetic on a honey of an idea.
Has anyone noticed a similar reduction in mosquitos? Houseflys? Moths? Roaches? Lightening bugs? Wasps?
June bugs? Crickets?
Yet they are also being exposed to the same radio waves as bees.
BUT...The primary food source of bees is different from all these other critters.
This is where I would concentrate any efforts to save the bees.
Beesides the obvious use of pesticides on crops:
[quote]Beekeepers themselves have become dependent on the use of synthetic pesticides and antibiotics to combat pests, and this has led to problems of toxicological hazards to beekeepers and bees, and risks of honey contamination.
On average a colony comprises 42,000-60,000 bees and can survive up to 20 years.
The life of the worker lasts about 30 to 35 days.
Under wild conditions the queen lives for five years or so.[/quote]

The book Our Stolen Future brought world-wide attention to scientific discoveries about endocrine disruption and the fact that common contaminants can interfere with the natural signals controlling development of the fetus. This website tracks the most recent developments.
Describes why frogs are disappearing as well. Specific corn pesticide.
Conclusion: stay away from Nalgene, don't microwave plastic
