A Reply to the Guardian's article:
You are quite wrong to poo-poo the effects that wireless microwave technologies such a Wi-fi, digital cordless (DECT) and Mobile Phone Masts have upon biological creatures such as humans. There is a vast amount of Independent Scientific Research which points to potentially very serious health problems and real symptoms such as electrosensitivity (EHS) right up to statistically improbable clusters of rare cancers in close proximity.
The Wireless Myths that you appear to subscribe to are removed with referenced Scientific studies at "Dispelling the Wireless Myths".
The Scientific Study that you mentioned may not have directly linked Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) with Mobile Phone Masts as such, but it clearly demonstrated a noticeable effect upon the delicate creatures by a related DECT microwave transmitter working at a comparable frequency. And a follow up comment in the Independent on Sunday last weekend gave the example of a house cleared of (admittedly unwanted) bees by the turning on of wi-fi. The
potential link of microwave/wireless/mobile technologies to CCD warrants proper study.
You also state that "Though bees navigate by the sun and light polarisation anyway." Not so - I don't know where you got this idea from?. Studies actually indicate that "Honey bees navigate by observing changes as small as 0.6% in the Earth's magnetic field" ( see ) and that can be effected by the sort of electromagnetic emissions from microwave transmitters at wi-fi, DECT and Mobile Phone frequencies.
In the end the fate of the bees and ourselves is the struggle between Consumerism (i.e. Profit) and Environmentalism (i.e. our survival). If it is a choice between mass health epidemic and environmental destruction or being able to surf any minute of the day wherever whenever, I know which is more important.
