Test: Mobile Signal is Indeed Disturbed Bees
Signals emitted by mobile phones may be partly responsible for the fact that in many parts of the world has dramatically decreased bees, a new study shows.
During the test, a specialist in bee hives has a cell phone and followed closely the worker bees in response, writes The Daily Mail. Bee aware when the phone is receiving or sending signals, and also used to promote its own signals, which usually indicates the beginning of spietimosi.
“This means that a nearby cell phone disrupts the bees – and the effect is dramatic,” – said Daniel Favre’as, when using a biologist who was formerly Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland. Bite marks spietimosi also used to display after about half an hour on the cellular signal to start to rebound, but calmed down when he goes after a couple of minutes off – these results are published in the journal Apidologie.
During the test, not the mobile signal that would have led to death of bees. “However, one hypothesis is that electromagnetic fields may contribute to the loss of bee colonies in the world”, – said D. Favre’as, calling for more research. However, British experts say the evidence that mobile phones pose a threat, is still very low.
“It’s an interesting study, but it does not prove that mobile phones are responsible for colony collapse. If pabeldi in the bush or open it for service – the same result, “- said Norman Carreckas, bee expert from the University of Sussex. “In many cases, the U.S. colonies were damaged in remote locations far from the mobile phone signal,” – he added.
So far as bees destructive factors have been identified in agriculture – pesticides and declining wild flower areas. Over the past 25-year-old bee in Britain has halved in the U.S. for this phenomenon is even up a special term “colony collapse disorder” to describe the sudden cluster decay.
Experts also stress that the bees severely damaged varozinės mites – parasites, which weakens the bees so that they become nebeatsparios diseases that are more sensitive to toxic substances, and changes in weather, as well as the hypothesis of a combination of fungus and virus. However, it remains the opinion of experts, the destroyed part of the bee mobile alerts.
