The effect of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) of cell phone tower on foraging behaviour of honey bee, Apis cerana F. was studied at Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat from December to May during 2012-13 and 2013-14 at an interval of 15 days. To quantify the effect of EMR, five treatments were placed at varying distance from the tower having different radiation level. The present study results revealed that the peak foraging behaviour of worker bees continues from March to May. The foraging…

Electromagnetic Effect on Vitality and Activity of Honey Bees in El- Beheira Governorate, Egypt
TLDR
The results obtained showed an increase in the number of honey bee workers leaving the placed hives at a distance of 100 meters from the high-pressure electric tower, and it was observed that the queens were affected, as they lessened their deposited eggs; expressed by the capped brood area in square inches.
Effect of Electromagnetic Field (EMF) and Electric Field (EF) on Some Behavior of Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.)
TLDR
The results obtained from this first study showed that honeybees are highly affected by electromagnetic radiation and electric field, which causes honeybees to lose their orientation and thus lose their hives.
Thermal and acoustic changes in bee colony due to exposure to microwave electromagnetic field – preliminary research
The paper presents the results of preliminary research on the influence of the electromagnetic field from microwave range on the population of honeybees, analysing changes in the sounds coming from…

Identifying Beehive Frames Ready For Harvesting
TLDR
The initial results in collecting per-frame weight have confirmed the complexity and costliness of this task though have provided a clear path to the reduction of both the simplicity and cost of a per- frame harvesting scheduler.
Benefits and hazards of electromagnetic waves, telecommunication, physical and biomedical: a review.

Changes in honeybee behaviour and biology under the influence of cellphone radiations.
TLDR
A significant decline in colony strength and in the egg laying rate of the queen was observed and the behaviour of exposed foragers was negatively influenced by the exposure, there was neither honey nor pollen in the colony at the end of the experiment.
Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) clashes with honey bees
TLDR
Apiculture has developed in to an important industry in India as honey and bee-wax have become common products and constant vigilance on the part of the bee keepers can over come these adverse conditions.
Mobile phone-induced honeybee worker piping
TLDR
Electromagnetic waves originating from mobile phones were tested for potential effects on honeybee behavior and revealed that active mobile phone handsets have a dramatic impact on the behavior of the bees, namely by inducing the worker piping signal.
Magnets, magnetic field fluctuations and geomagnetic disturbances impair the homing ability of honey bees (Apis mellifera)
TLDR
Five observations indicate that coronal eruptions on the Sun are involved with interference of a forager's magnetoreception sense here on Earth.
Report on Cell Tower Radiation
TLDR
This report is a compilation of more than 200 scientific peer reviewed references on cell phone and cell tower radiation hazards to solve problems from this invisible hazardous radiation.
Colony Collapse Disorder: A Descriptive Study
TLDR
This is the first comprehensive survey of CCD-affected bee populations that suggests CCD involves an interaction between pathogens and other stress factors, and presents evidence that this condition is contagious or the result of exposure to a common risk factor.
