The effect of cell phone antennas' radiations on the life cycle of honeybees

摘要

As many other species, honeybees are becoming extinct in the world; this phenomenon is called the Colony Collapse Disorder. Many reasons have been proven to be behind this environmental disaster like climate changes, pesticides, fungal pathogens and others; especially, since in recent years, wild life has been exposed to microwaves and radio frequencies' radiation signals from various sources, including wireless phones. The claim of the research is that radiations generated by mobile phones' antennas disturb the life cycle of honeybees and affect their reproduction system and honey producing. The research involves testing the behavior of honeybees in the main lobe of the antenna at a distance of 100 meters, and another at a distance of 500 meters; and, in the back lobe of the antenna at a distance of 100 meters, knowing that the antenna is directional. The results of the experiments verified that mobile phones' antennas' radiations affect the honeybees' life system.
