Scientists are having a difficult time explaining the rapid decline of the honeybee population in the United States and Canada, known as colony collapse disorder, that could affect crops depending on these insects for pollination.
Research presented some four years ago speculates the radiation emitted from cellular phones may contribute to the problem.
When cellular phones were placed near hives, the radiation generated by them (900-1,800 MHz) was enough to prevent bees from returning to them, according to a study conducted at Landau University.
Scientists believe the radiation produced by cellular phones may be enough to interfere with the way bees "communicate" with their hives. Cellular phones may create a resonance effect that interferes with the movement patterns bees use as a kind of language.
Dr. Mercola's Comment:
Although another study blamed the ongoing spread of genetically modified crops for the disappearance, cellular phones may also very well be contributing to the problem.
This comes as no surprise, considering all the harm mobile phones can do to male sperm, for example, as well as to your head.
I have run many articles detailing the studies that expose how the harmful radiation from cell phones can wreak havoc. I would encourage you to review an article that was published in Lancet several years ago; you can review my extensive summary of that article or you can go to the journal directly and obtain the information.
Do you really want an acoustic neuroma (tumor) growing inside your head? If you are fortunate enough to avoid nervous system malignancies, then how will you contend with the cellular damage these mobile phones cause?
While protecting your brain from harmful EMFs will do nothing to halt the disappearance of bees, one of your best and safest options would be to restrict your use of cellular phones to the speakerphone function, or find a safe headset.
Remember, just because you can't see the EMFs does not mean that they are not harming you. In many ways this scenario is very similar to smoking 100 years ago. The average person was oblivious to the possibility that smoking could be harmful.
What made it even worse was that the deceptive marketers of the time used physicians to convince people that it was actually "cool" and even healthy to smoke. Similar to cell phones, people would not drop dead until many years later. This delayed effect obscured the damage that was being done.
If you do not believe the data, then I strongly encourage you to review some of the links below and rethink your decision on the safety of cell phones. We won't know the full extent of the damage these devices are producing for many years.
Hard to remember but cell phones are NOT that old. Although they were developed in the '40s and '50s, most people did not adopt them much more than 10 years ago. Think about it for a moment; I will bet you and most people you know have not had cell phones for more than 10 years. Until the late 1980s they were too large to be carried in a jacket pocket so they were permanently installed in the car as car phones.
If most people had just started smoking 10 years ago we would have virtually NO CLUE as to how dangerous it is.
Are you really willing to risk your life on the chance that these devices are perfectly safe?
I certainly am not, which is why I ALWAYS use the safe headset or the speaker phone. My first choice is the speakerphone, and I encourage all of you to get a phone with that feature and use it. Keep that darn phone away from your head.
Occasionally I do use the phone in my car, but I have a model that can wirelessly connect to the phone through Bluetooth and it is completely hands-free. My phone is four feet from me and I just talk to the windshield and the sound comes through the car's audio system. It really is pretty slick and not much different than talking as if the person were in the car with you.
However, most of you will not be able to do this because your car does not have that function. So, the bottom line is use the speaker phone on your phone or use the safe headset that I use, which has an air tube so the radiation doesn't transfer up to your brain.
Let's keep those brain cells healthy, folks!

Ouisi - you are sadly mistaken.
1) The signal from a cellphone drops off in power by an inverse square law. That means the power is 100 times less at 10 inches as it is at 1 inch distance from the antenna. At 100 inches, it is 10,000 times less. Think about it - the signal originates at a "point" and spreads out from there. Otherwise we would all be dead now, almost instantly, when multiple phones are on.
2) The website says: “Powered by a hi-tech polymer, the particles within the MRET compound - once stimulated by EMF/EMR - oscillate, emitting a low frequency noise-field that superimposes itself over the harmful high-frequency microwave radiation. Studies have shown that this process creates an incoherent, bio-friendly wave, thereby dramatically reducing the otherwise inappropriately triggered protective responses by the body's key systems. ERT-charged carriers emit a subtle energy field, restoring vital communication across the biofield by assisting the transmission of signals that improve resistance to stressors and support key energetic functions in the body.” Any scientific person can recognize this as meaningless biobabble and they don't cite the studies about this biofriendly wave they claim to create.
3) Research1: they claim the person's head dropped 4ºC by using the Biopro chip. If cellphone heated our head at least 4ºC they would be WAY off the market right now. Its nonsense - everyone would feel 4ºC and it would be a well-known phenomena, easily measured, if it were true.
4) Research 2: they used Meridian Stress Assessment Testing (MSAS) for most of their data. The report I looked at was written by a non-scientifically-credentialed individual. The machine was a Vollmeter, designed by Dr. Reinhol Voll. I had one of those tests, and NO ONE can explain how it works, other than mumbo-jumbo. I challenge anyone to explain the works of this "scientific" instrument in scientific terms. If it does work, and maybe it does, no one knows why.
5) Research 3: this "research" was done using "God knows what" because they make it look like electromagnetic data and it's not, and they don't say what it is. PLEASE, I SAID PLEASE!!!
(My M.S. degree. includes some microwave training. I would welcome comments from an Electrica/Electronics Engineer with extensive microwave application experience and /or training.)
Cell Phones (Microwaves), genetic energizing of our food crops, Nothing is natural anymore! The whole world will react and is in upheaval now!
The bees are going to be a real “barometer” of things to come.
As a Clinical Herbalist I think the taking of Pharm Meds is still the biggest threat to our national health. Not OURS as such but when you get out into the world and rub shoulders with the “Average Joe” over 50 it is freighting what they tell you they are taking!
They have swallowed the whole deadly game hook line and sinker!
I was always taught, “If it isn’t natural don’t put it in your body! And guess who said that! A doctor visiting our school in the 50s! What happened????
We must somehow change the face of medicine! I think there may just be enough on our side to do it soon but how many more will have to die first?
