Interesting and VERY distressing if true.



How many hives have their own cell phone?

If the radiation from a phone under a hive does have an effect, how close does a cell
phone need to be to still have an effect?


Outside of maybe being a warning to beekeepers to turn off their cells when near the
hives, I don't see what is to worry.

Oh, well maybe doen't site your hives near cell towers either.


Reminds me of those sure that the crt was going to kill us all. I guess they moved on to
something like this when we went to flatscreens.

doesn't it bother anyone that there was no mention of 1/r^2??? the max
power from an old analog cell phone is 300 mw. it is a point radiator.
what is the power density in a 1 cubic foot hive 100 yards from the
emitter? not very many nanowatts.... do the math.
