Birds are known to be sensitive to magnetic radiation . Increasing number of cell phone towers in cities apparently are bringing down bird population. The microwaves (300 MHz to 300 GHz) emitted by cell phone towers and handsets has been found to be responsible for damaging eggs and embryos of sparrows.3 Tem 2020

While studies in Spain and Belgium have established the ill-effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted by cell phone masts on birds, a study to be published next month by a team in Panjab University has found that EMR can damage bird eggs and embryos .3 Eki 2008

German research has long shown that bees’ behaviour changes near power lines. Now a limited study at Landau University has found that bees refuse to return to their hives when mobile phones are placed nearby . Dr Jochen Kuhn, who carried it out, said this could provide a “hint” to a possible cause.
Read moreDo bees die from radiation?
The radiation from mobile phone masts and similar wireless devices can therefore disrupt bee navigation , both by the sun and by the earth’s magnetic field. This can reduce the number of foraging bees returning to the hive and result in colony collapse disorder.
Read moreDo bees drop anything when killed?
When bees are close to death, they often cling to flowers and look quite lethargic. When they do die, they then drop off the flowers , and you may find a number of these in your gardens, especially near the most bee-friendly plants.
Read moreDo bees fall out of the sky when it gets dark?
The technology can’t yet tell species apart based purely on buzz, but local observations suggested that most of the insects were honeybees or bumblebees. The results, which the schoolchildren helped analyze, showed that bees do in fact shut down in the darkness of the totality.
Read moreWhy do bees drop to the ground?
It is easy to see these bees suddenly drop to the floor for no apparent reason except that the lights were turned off. There is no known cause for the bees to suddenly head for the ground, although some people speculate that bees may have become afraid of bats that hunt at night .
