Electromagnetic pollution is one of the causes of the collapse of the bee population in the world, this has just been confirmed by a new study carried out by the biologist Daniel Favre, in Lausanne (Switzerland).
It has been known for a long time, the maintenance of honey bee colonies has important implications for our ecosystem. In his study, the scientist analyzed the effects of electromagnetic waves from mobile phones on the behavior of bees.
Mobile phones were placed in close proximity to the bees and the sounds produced by the bees were recorded and analyzed. Research has shown that the cell phone signal not only disturbs the behavior of bees, but also leads to their death. More than 83 experiments near the hives have given the same effects!
The results obtained, in the form of audiograms and spectrograms of these different sounds, revealed that radiation from mobile phones has a considerable impact on the behavior of bees, in particular by inducing alarm signals emitted by worker bees. These sounds of the worker bee announce either the preparation for swarming, or are the reflection of great disturbances of a colony of bees.

In fact, the noise produced by bees increases more than 10 times each time a phone makes or receives a call. Conversely, the noise decreases and returns to a normal level as soon as the telephone is switched off or remains on standby.
"When the phone rings, the noise of the bees increases considerably and this gives the signal to leave the hive" explained Dr. Favre. "Often they are so confused that they fly to their death ... mobile phone technology is fatal for bees ... the study definitely proves it."

This study can go a long way towards shedding light on the causes of the mysterious disappearances of bee colonies around the world. Indeed, apart from varroa mites, viruses, bacteria (which are biological causes), or pesticides (reflecting anthropogenic causes), it remains that more than half of the causes of disappearance of bees in the northern hemisphere have not been clarified to date. Indeed, it has been observed that in more than 60% of cases, bees leave the hive during winter, at a time when they have no chance of surviving in the wild.
