Mobile Devices Linked to Decline in Honey Bee Populations

The decline of honey bee populations has raised concerns across Europe and North America, where activists attribute the issue to agricultural pesticides, climate change, and genetically modified crops, collectively termed 'colony collapse disorder.' In Britain, bee numbers have dropped by 15 percent over the past two years, leading to increased hive thefts. Researchers from Punjab University in Chandigarh believe they have identified a potential cause for this decline: radiation from mobile phones, which may disrupt bees' navigation abilities.
