Scientists know that bees are dying from a variety of factors—pesticides, drought, habitat destruction, nutrition deficit, air pollution, global warming and more. Many of these causes are interrelated.
Read moreHow does WIFI kill bees?
High-frequency electromagnetic fields are used for mobile communications. It has been scientifically proven that these transmissions can have a heating effect on living organisms within their range . However, there’s no evidence of a harmful effect if the radiation is below the limits set for it.2 May 2020
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 moreAre mobile phones wiping out our bees?
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 moreDoes WIFI affect bees?
Radiation From Cellphones, Wi-Fi Is Hurting the Birds and the Bees ; 5G May Make It Worse. Technology is quite literally destroying nature, with a new report further confirming that electromagnetic radiation from power lines and cell towers can disorientate birds and insects and destroy plant health.19 May 2018
Read moreCan bees detect radiation?
Honeybees have been shown to be useful monitors of the environment in this context for detecting both radionuclides and heavy metals . This study sought to determine the effectiveness of honeybees as monitors of low levels of radioactivity in the form of tritium and gamma- emitting radionuclides.
