Are Mobile phones and Wi-fi dangerous for bees?
We found this interesting story on Technology.guardian.co.uk
Sure, if you believe a vociferous crowd who are ready to ascribe those ills to the new twin modern evils - mobile phones (and their masts) and Wi-Fi. They reckon the world's crops are going to fail because, allegedly, mobiles kill bees, and Wi-Fi will make teachers, pupils and people wandering around Westminster (which this week turned on its municipal Wi-Fi network) ill.
The claim about bees is that they're vanishing through Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Yes, some are, in parts of the US, Canada and Europe; apiarists think it could be due to a cold snap or a parasitic mite. But wait. Why not mobile phones? A team at Landau University did a study in June 2006 which suggested they kill bees!
