Shocking study : Mobile towers poses death risk for Honey bees in Kerala ( India )

Mobile tower

We all are worried about the life threatening risk which mobile radiation cause to human being. However, studies have not yet proved that how much effect does cell phone radiation has on human being, but the same is proved on Honey bees in Kerala , a state in India. It seems the harmful electro magnetic radiations from mobile towers have a potential to kill the worker bees that go out to collect nectar from flowers.

As per the initial test carried out, a plunge in beehive population has been reported from different parts of Kerala and if measures are not taken to check mushrooming of mobile powers, bees could be wiped out from Kerala within a decade, environmentalist and Reader in Zoology, Dr Sainudeen Pattazhy says in his study.

In one of his experiments he found that when a mobile phone was kept near a beehive it resulted in collapse of the colony in five to 10 days, with the worker bees failing to return home, leaving the hives with just queens, eggs and hive-bound immature bees.

Even though this problem is a big one, I wonder there is any solution available for the same. If electromagnetic waves can cause this much rish to honey bees, how much it might affect the humans. I feel its better that to whichever extent possible, avoid the usage of cell phones.
