PremiumVIVAnews -transmission of the cellular phones (mobile phones) will most likely result in the death of a number of bees around the world for a mystery among scientists. The conclusions were obtained from studies conducted by Daniel Favre, researchers from Switzerland's Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland.
On research, Favre put mobile phones in the bottom of the hive and then monitor the reactions of the worker bees for quite some time. It turns out, the bees can detect when a mobile phone that do or receive a call. They then respond by issuing a high pitched squeaking noise that generally indicates the start of a crowd of bees.
"This research shows that the presence of active mobile phone interfere with the activity of the bees and produce dramatic effects," said Favre, as quoted from the the Daily Mail, may 18, 2011.
Favre was convinced that this finding is evidence of previous scientists estimate that the signals from mobile phones contribute to decrease the amount of honey bees. However, Favre said, still a lot of research needs to be done to help confirm the link between mobile phone signals and musnahnya bee colonies that have slashed the population of these animals.
Before Favre, June, researchers also conduct research and produce similar conclusions. He noted a decrease in population of honeycomb mounted phones and decline the number of eggs produced queen bees in the hive.
From a study conducted during the last three years of the eight species of beetles in the United States, it is known that four of the eight species of beetle that experienced population decline up to 96 per cent and area of distribution has shrunk between 23 to 87 percent.
"Currently there are 50 species of beetles in the area of North America, and from 8 species we observe, four of which are experiencing major problems," said Sydney Cameron, Professor of Entomology from the University of Illinois who chaired the research. "They could have been recovered from the threat of extinction, but some of them have a small chance. But we only examine eight of them. Most likely this is just like the top of the iceberg, "he said.
