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 moreWhy are mobile phones believed to be harmful to bees?
“Animals, including insects, use cryptochrome for navigation,” Goldsworthy told CNN. “They use it to sense the direction of the earth’s magnetic field and their ability to do this is compromised by radiation from [cell] phones and their base stations . So basically bees do not find their way back to the hive.”
