Summary Mobile phones may be a major factor in bee colony decline.

For years scientists have been trying to discover the cause of dwindling population of honeybees. Doctors believe that mobile phones may be a major factor in bee colony decline, leading to massive population issues within the species.The researchers observed how the insects reacted when the phone is turned off, in standby mode, and active. The study found that when the phone was actively transmitting a signal, the bees behaved wildly, letting off alerts that are normally used during swarming. If cell phone signals are in fact causing the bees to act in a hostile manner, it could lead them to abandon their hives even.The evidences do not fully explain the growing number of collapsed colonies as many colonies in trouble are located far from any kind of mobile phone activity. There are also other theories including pesticides and even parasitic mites.
