Radiation from transmitters wipes out bee colonies which will affect food production: Study

The Pioneer

18th September, 2009

Studies in Kerala have brought out evidence to support the theory of colony collapse disorder (CCD) among honeybees due to bioactive microwave radiation from mobile phones and their relay towers, which leads to extensive disappearance of entire worker bee colonies. This could result in disruption in food production because most of the crops depend on bees for pollination.

Cell Tower Complaint Filed With FCC on Behalf of Honey Bees

Posted by seumasach on November 5, 2009

All Voices

A local Washington, DC area telecommunications services company executive filed an informal complaint with the FCC stating that the GSM mobile system is modulated at 217 HZ and interferes with the honeybee “natural” operating frequency that is 180 – 250 HZ.

Honey, where are the bees?

Posted by smeddum on October 26, 2009

In the West, despite the work of scientists like Ulrike Warnke, everything is being done to keep the EM connection to CCD out of the news. Do we have some kind of death wish? To cover up our own imminent demise would appear to be the last word in decadence. Fortunately, the emergence of countries like India from the tutelage of the West is providing us with a lifeline, but can they save us from ourselves? Perhaps not, but let’s hope that, at least, they can save themselves.

Honey, where are the bees?

Not so long ago, many communities in India believed that a honeybee buzzing next to one’s ears heralded good news, some said it meant a missive

was on its way. As time went by, cellular phones made that kind of anxious wait redundant. Then, one day, when the bees stopped troubling people, no one noticed it. Read the rest of this entry »

Danger In Mobile PhoneCommunication Towers
EDITOR
Mmegi online

5/10/09

Are we being denied information by the cell phone companies or the telecommunications industry regulator regarding the dangers of communication towers?

The towers are mushrooming everywhere in Botswana. They have become a source of income for many people who are lucky enough to provide land for the erection of the towers. However, studies have shown that even at low levels, the radiation from the towers can damage cell tissue and DNA. The radiation has been linked to brain tumours, cancer, suppressed immune function, depression, miscarriage, Alzheimer’s disease and serious illnesses. Read the rest of this entry »

Sweet nothings murmured into a mobile phone spell doom for honeybees, says a study. The booming communication industry is not helping one sector – apiculture – at least. Honey and bee wax are not the only things at stake, though. One-third of our crops need bees to pollinate.

Bees are dying across the United States and threatening the fruit, vegetables and nut industries.

If the dying trend continues, prices for fruit, vegetables and nuts could skyrocket as the primary source of reproduction for these food products dies off, said Chris Shrack, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks education information representative and a bee keeper for 45 years.

Bolivarist Academic Highlights CCD/EM Connection

Posted by smeddum on July 20, 2009

Rosa Luxemburg still saying: Peace means the worldwide revolution of the proletariat!

This article is significant not for its bombast, but for many things , mostly because this is the first academic leftist writer to declare  that  Colony Collapse Disorder  is a result of electrosmog. He is wrong to suggest it is merely a US phenomenon as it is world wide in its range. Japan for instance lost 50% of their bees this year.

VHeadline commentarist, University of Los Andes (ULA) political sciences professor, Dr. Franz J. T. Lee writes:

Sunday 19th July

For those whom the bell is already tolling now in America, it is time to be tactfully and diplomatically crystal clear about the formal logical “contradiction”: violence and peace. Since the military coup in Honduras and its seemingly diplomatic, ‘peaceful’ aftermath, we should be fore-warned of things to come under the Barak Obama ‘Democratic’ administration.

Beyond any doubt, whether we realize it or not, we are currently facing the fleeting moments of emancipatory truth, of fierce coming class struggles, that is, we are living and dying in one of the most virulent and violent epochs of world production, of exploited labor forces, of human history.

Disappearing bees: “Gearing up” in order to dumb down

Posted by smeddum on June 18, 2009

The problem with the nature of this research is that it does not address CCD at all. What it does address is every other danger to the bees, which gives it some legitimacy. Again the effect of Electromagnetic forces on bees has been ignored, along with already made  studies by specialists in the field.  Here and here.
DNA filtering of dead bees has eliminated viruses as the cause of CCD including Israeli Acute paralysis (IAPC)
Mites and pesticides leave piles of dead bees inside or near the Hive.  Only the EMF explanation is capable of explaining why the bees get lost en masse, and do not come back to the hive.
The EU looks to be on the right tracks http://ec.europa.eu/health/opinions2/en/electromagnetic-fields/l-2/9-environmental-effects.htm ,the USA  and UK health agencies show no such promise

Colony Collapse Disorder Research Is (Finally) Gearing Up

A year later, here’s how $4.1 million in new federal honey bee research money is being spent.

A year ago USDA CSREES (Cooperative State Research Extension Education Service) awarded a $4.1 million grant to a group of university researchers for the express purpose of solving the current honey bee health problems confronting the beekeeping industry. Without actually nailing it down, this was a project to look into the current Colony Collapse Disorder malady and, over four years, find out what was going on. But at the same time the grant was to fund an extensive education program for beekeepers, and to develop as much information as possible so beekeepers could keep their bees healthy, and had a place to go for questions … and answers. Moreover, 25% of the funds were to go to study non-apis pollinators, such as bumble bees, alfalfa leaf-cutting bees and the like. To date, this is the only government money to be distributed to beekeeping researchers to study this problem other than normal budgetary funds to keep the USDA projects up and running.
