Yahoo! posted an article yesterday about a new study
involving cell phones and Bee's. The conclusion
was in fact alarming to me to say the least.
The Swiss researcher Daniel Favre indicates
cell phone frequencies (usually 900MHz)
disrupt the signals within the hive, causing
confusion and stress for the Worker bee's and
probably the Queen as well.
Colony Collapse Disorders occurs when the Worker
bee's dessert the colony, leaving a Queen with eggs and
immature bee's who will not learn
how to keep the colony alive.
This is a valid explanation that explains the decline
of the Bee population since 2003. I personally believe it is
a combination of factors including this.
As I personally found out, Bees are very sensitive to temperature as well.
Hot = Agitated and
Cold = Calm, almost Comatose.
Cold = Calm, almost Comatose.
With the temperature changes on a global scale,I would bet my declining dollar
that too is affecting the Bee population as well..Lets face it people!! Cell phone use
has not been researched thoroughly for ecological purpose..Cell phones can now be found in every country..
I found an article (http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13970_7-10454065-78.html dated February 16, 2010.. At this point, it was estimated 5 billion cell phone subscriptions were active. Even Children in America as young as 10 have cell phones, as it is a safety net for parents.
For the Bee, the sad truth is unless restriction or restructuring of cell
phone use is enacted, the frequency of worldwide cell phone use will
operate on a level that is inhumane towards animals.
