Read moreCan bees survive radiation?
However, at the moment there is little data on how bees respond to chronic radiation exposure . We found that exposure to dose rates comparable to the CEZ resulted in a reduction in the number of queens produced from colonies – with upper estimates of a 30-45% reduction compared with unexposed colonies.
Read moreWhat do cell phones have to do with bees?
There are significant reasons for bee colony collapse disorder (CCD) like pesticides, disease and climate change. Recent studies reveal that a cell phone tower and mobile phone handset are also causing side effects to honey bees due to radiation emission .
Read moreWhat did Einstein say about the bees?
So it is with pardonable pride that beekeepers have been known to endorse quotes like the one attributed to Albert Einstein: “If the bee disappears from the surface of the Earth, man would have no more than four years left to live.”
