Phone Radiation Death Caused Bee Colonies

Transmission mobile phones (mobile phones) are likely to lead to death of bees all over the world who have been the mystery among scientists. Conclusions are derived from studies conducted by Daniel Favre, researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland.

In the study, Favre put the phone under a beehive and then monitor the reaction of the worker bees for some time. Apparently, bees can detect when the phone is doing or receive calls. They then respond by issuing high-pitched squeaky voice which usually marks the beginning of a crowd of bees.

"This study shows that the presence of active mobile phones interfere with the activities of the bees and produce a dramatic effect," Favre said, as quoted by the Daily Mail, May 18, 2011.

Favre believes that this finding is evidence of previous scientists estimate that the signal from the phone contributed to the decline in the number of honey bees. However, Favre said, there is still much research that needs to be done to help confirm the relationship between cell phone signal and the demise of bee colonies that has slashed the population of these animals.

Before Favre, last June, other researchers also conduct research and produce a similar conclusion. He noted the decline of bee hives are fitted with mobile phone and a decline in the number of eggs produced by the queen bee in the hive is.

From a study conducted during the last three years to eight species of beetle in the United States, it is known that four of the eight species of beetle that has decreased to 96 percent of the population and its distribution area has shrunk from 23 to 87 percent.

"Currently there are 50 species of beetles in North America, and from 8 species we observed, four of them have a big problem," said Sydney Cameron, professor of entomology at the University of Illinois who chaired the study. "They could have been recovered from the threat of extinction, but most of them have a small chance. However, we only examined eight of them new. This is most likely just like the tip of the iceberg, "he said. (Eh)
