A recent study conducted in India mentioned that electromagnetic waves from a transmitting tower and cell phone signals also can endanger the existence of mobile phones honeybees.
The experiment conducted in Kerala, India is finding a decrease in the number of honey bee populations drastically. After investigation, it seems this is caused by an increase in the number of towers built in the area.
Mobile phone operators say the reason they reproduce the signal relay towers course is to improve the quality of their networks. But they did not realize these actions threaten the community of living things around him, one of the bees.
"Electromagnetic waves emitted by these towers crippled navigation capabilities that worker bees collect nectar from the flowers to maintain the continuity of the bee colony," said research team leader, Dr. Sainuddin Pattazhy as quoted by the Times of India, Tuesday (1/9/2009).
Pattazhy and his team conducted a study to put the phone near a beehive. In fact, cell phone signal eliminates navigation capabilities and lead to worker bees they could not find a way back to the nest.
Because he could not return to the nest, the bees in the hive is the queen bee live together with the eggs. This then causes a decrease in the number of colonies of bees. In a study conducted Pattazhy, many bee colonies are reduced and finally collapsed only within 10 days.
"If the number of mobile phones and towers continues to increase, it is certain that in the next ten years we can no longer see the presence of honey bees," said Pattazhy.
