Is bee collapse due to cell phones?
Radiation from cell phones might be contributing to the decline in the bee population.

An Indian study shows that the radiation from the ever-increasing number of cell phones might be one of the factors in the colony collapse disorder (CCD) that has been lowering the bee population over the past several years.
Parasites, climate change and pesticides have all been theorized to contribute to CCD. CNN reports on a new theory about cell phone radiation.

If you have a beehive and would like to shield it from electromagnetic radiation, simply wrap it with foil.
For added protection stake a wire into the ground and connect it to your foil lining.
A large galvanized or stainless steel nail or screw hammered into the ground would do the trick. Other metals would do fine but might rust sooner. Copper and iron tend to corrode. You'd have to replace them eventually if they do.
Instead of foil, you could use a fine-mesh metal.... More

Cell phones uses cell phone towers for triangulation of electromagnetic waves. Can theses cell phone towers also have negative effects on plant crops and bees ? It seems likely that electromagnetic waves (ELF/VLF) affects all living organisms differently.
