Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Scientists are abuzz over a new theory that cell phones are killing off bees. The study found that radiation from the widely used communication devices is having a negative impact on the honey-making insects. Researchers at Panjab University in Chandigarh, India, placed cell phones by a beehive and powered it up twice a day for 15 minutes over a period of three months. During that time, CNN reports, the scientists found that honey production stopped, the queen laid only half as many eggs and the size of the hive shrunk dramatically. " Increase in the usage of electronic gadgets has led to electropollution of the environment, " wrote Ved Prakash Sharma and Neelima Kumar, the authors of the report in the journal Current Science. " Honeybee behavior and biology has been affected by electrosmog since these insects have magnetite in their bodies which helps them in navigation, " the pair wrote. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, last year the bee population dropped 30%. One scientist suggests a minor change in the frequency of cell-phone transmissions could help solve the problem. www.nydailynews.com http://www.geekosystem.com/cell-phone-bee-population/ " If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man, " said Albert Einstein. In the United States, about 30% of all food we consume requires pollination by honey bees. But now honey bee collonies are mysteriously emptying out without a trace. .... Europe: The alarm was first sounded last autumn, but has now hit half of all American states. The West Coast is thought to have lost 60 per cent of its commercial bee population, with 70 per cent missing on the East Coast. CCD has since spread to Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece. And last week Chapple, one of London's biggest bee-keepers, announced that 23 of his 40 hives have been abruptly abandoned. http://www.androidworld.com/prod14.htm Honey Bee Colony Losses in the U.S., Fall 2007 to Spring 2008 http://www.geochembio.com/biology/organisms/honeybee/#appendix5 Is it a stretch to hypothesize that government mandated spraying of crops with deadly chemicals as well as toxic substances contained in chemtrails could be part of a deliberate program to eliminate the bee population? Or is this just another example of big business flagrantly abusing the eco-system in order to drive up profits? http://www.squidoo.com/chemtrailillness Possible Chemtrail Side Effect?
