The post that was quoted here has been removedThe only thing I question here is if RF radiation from a cell phone is the cause, why wasn't there die-offs before cellphones? TV stations used those same frequencies decades before cell phones and they pumped out one hell of a lot more power, like MEGAwatts. So why all of a sudden is the lttle pipsqueak tranmitter, something like ONE TENTH of a watt now killing bees? You have to look at the larger picture here. Even the cell phone towers use less than a thousand watts, they have to because they reuse the same frequencies a few miles down the road. I worked in Toledo Ohio for a few months and drove home and I see a whole bunch of tv and radio towers out in the corn fields but have not heard about dying bees there. There must be something we are missing.

Originally posted by sonhouseAnd there's the rub. There were die-offs before mobile phones. There are reports of this phenomenon from over a century ago... decades before we started emitting any kind of RF radiation, whether through mobiles, through TV or radio stations, through anything. So mobile phones are, as usual, not to blame for this.

Originally posted by sonhouseI thought that the electromagnetic waves used by mobile phones where in the microwave region. Higher frequency than used by radio and TV.
