Bees
Increasingly, awareness is growing about the plight of the honeybee. "Colony Collapse Disorder" is the term used for the mysterious and alarming decline in bee populations worldwide. Mites have been blamed, and loss of habitat, and chemical effects, but until now, electromagnetic and radiofrequency fields have been ignored as a possible player in this environmental catastrophe.
Now, new studies are emerging to indicate harm from wireless sources, implicating them, and the biological stress they cause, as significant contributors to the problem.

The smart meter is here, and my bees are gone . . .
beekeeper wants people to know, and will pursue this with B.C. Hydro
Please read this. I am not the only one, and I won't be the last.
"I knew about colony collapse disorder and other bee problems but since I live in a wooded area free of pesticides and GMO close by, on a river facing a mountain outside cell phone range, I thought our bees would be safe.
"They thrived for over a year but have now disappeared. Only a few are left inside, frozen yet there is plenty of honey and capped brood - exactly how colony collapse is described.
"Bees do not voluntarily leave a hive where there is capped brood. What happens is that bees leave the hive to go forage or get water, and get lost due to their navigation system being disrupted by electromagnetic fields. So they wander aimlessly until they die of exhaustion. The result is that we find empty bee hives.
"The few dead bees inside, dead of cold because of too few bees to keep the hive from freezing, are perfectly shaped, showing they were healthy, without parasites. I never thought I would see this here.
"Three weeks ago they were fine. So what happened?
"I have now found out Hydro installed a smart meter on my property without my knowledge and I think it was early fall. I am writing Hydro to get it removed and trying to find out if I can have any legal recourse.
"I am very sad for my bees but most of all depressed to think we are creating a world in which even beneficial beings such as bees cannot survive.
"Since there are other animals on this property I am determined to try and get everyone in the area to refuse smart meters.
"Please let people know about this."
