Radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) can be absorbed in all living organisms, including Western Honey Bees (Apis Mellifera). This is an ecologically and economically important global insect species that is continuously exposed to environmental RF-EMFs.16 Oca 2020
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 moreHow are cell phones hurting bees?
A Swiss scientist named Daniel Favre conducted the study, and concluded cell phone signals can cause bees to make extra noise , which is a signal to leave the hive. When cell phones are placed near a hive, it acts as a barrier, keeping bees from returning. When worker bees abandon the hive, the hive as a whole suffers.12 May 2011

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.”
Read moreWhat is the biggest problem for bees?
The most significant threats to bees. The most pressing threats to long-term bee survival include: Climate change. Habitat loss and fragmentation.
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
