The cause of death of bees could be proximity to cell phones and antennas
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himWhat do bees have to do with mobile phones? Perhaps the hum of our beloved mobile phone, when it vibrates, could be reminiscent of that of small and industrious insects. But that's not what Dr. was concerned with Daniel Favre, who discovered a possible connection between the disappearance of huge hives and the proximity of cell phones and antennas.
Former biologist at the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Dr. Favre, attempted to prove his theory that i mobile phones would play a role in the death of bees or in any case they would not be well received by these hard-working insects, as they are a source of disturbance. To demonstrate this, the scholar inserted two cell phones into a beehive, recording the reactions bees as soon as the phones rang. Favre explains: “About 20-40 minutes after the phones were activated, the bees started making sounds, similar to squeaks that announce the start of the swarming. Two minutes after the end of the phone call, the worker bees calmed down ”.
This would explain the large number of bees disappeared in Great Britain, literally halved in the last 25 years, and in America where according to some, the insects were affected by the so-called 'colony collapse disorder' which caused the sudden disappearance of entire colonies during the winter.
However, some experts argue that the cause of the bee die-off it could be varroa, a parasite that makes insect colonies vulnerable to disease, but for Favre, cell phones are to blame: "This study shows that the presence of an active cell phone disturbs bees and has a dramatic effect", concludes the scholar . "But one hypothesis is that electromagnetic fields can contribute to the disappearance of bee colonies all over the world".
