Betreff: Condemned Cells - Dramatic new facts on Honey bees dying

Several months ago when I first saw reports about large numbers of honey
bees dying, I was concerned. I considered electro magnetic radiation (EMR)
as a strong possible cause. During the last few months, with further
information becoming available, I have become even more worried about the
situation. No new information has caused me to doubt that EMR is involved
in this environmental disaster.
The lengthy story (linked below) from the Telegraph Magazine, a world class
newspaper, indicates to me that the problem is truly critical and could
endanger all life on earth. The main part of the story that causes me so
much concern is where the researcher is comparing autopsy results of bees
from colonies with known sickness, to bees that are from 'healthy colonies.
The researcher states - "But when you get them under the microscope, nearly
all the bees look sick. I've done a thousand of these autopsies in three
months and I tell you, its really difficult to find a healthy looking bee".
";This one, like so many CCD bees, has a shocking amount of disease symptoms.
Its venom sac and sting gland are swollen and discoloured, indicating
infection. Its kidneys are blackened, its intestines are scarred and it was
clearly suffering from terrible constipation. The contents of its rectum
should be soft but this is hard, undigested and really packed in there. We
see this a lot. These bees can't relieve themselves but we have no idea why
or what it means";. "The immune systems in CCD bees are severely
compromised. Secondary infections from bacteria and fungus are taking
advantage of their weakened immune systems and leaving this blackening and
scarring on their internal organs. But what is attacking or degrading their
immune systems"?
>From my own experience with illness and cancer from exposure to electro
magnetic radiation and from research that indicates human immune systems
being damaged by EMR, it is not too difficult for me to imagine the damage
that is being caused to bees immune systems by electro magnetic radiation.
We know that electro magnetic radiation is harming the immune systems of
animals and humans, should we expect something different from honey bees?
Added information that I have seen in the last two months indicates that EMR
exposure causes yeast and fungus to grow and spread much more quickly than
non exposed items. This may well account for some of the symptoms noted
during the bee autopsies.
Although the 'Telegraph' story is well written and well researched, it has
one major and extremely important mistake, the reporter writes off mobile
phones and electro magnetic radiation as the cause of the honey bees dying.
The reporter's reasoning for making this statement is entirely wrong. Two
German scientist reported their experiment with a cordless telephone as
being inconclusive, yet the results of their experiment gave great cause for
concern and very strong reasons why much further research needs to be
completed into the health effects of electro magnetic radiation on honey
bees (see the attached research paper and make your own conclusions). The
two scientists have not declared that EMR is safe, they have not stated that
EMR is not causing CCD and they have not suggested that further research is
not needed. The scientists are simply been cautious of what they have
researched and found. There is still every reason to believe that EMR is
involved with honey bees dying and that serious research must be conducted
quickly.
What may be a simple and sensible testing procedure, would be to check the
health of honey bees having no exposure to electro magnetic radiation
against those known to have a high EMR exposure. Researchers could test the
immune systems of bees that have been exposed to EMR, against those from a
clean environment. In the Telegraph story, it states that the first to
suffer and the hardest hit were the bees being transported across America to
pollinate different crops. To travel across North America these days is to
travel down roads which can be best described as 'microwave alleys'. You
continually pass from one cell phone mast to another cell phone mast, never
away from very strong emissions of electro magnetic radiation. If the honey
bees immune systems are being harmed by radiation, this is just about the
worst place for them to be. I know of humans that are being badly affected
by cell phone masts during their road journeys, honey bees may also be
harmed by radiation from these and other antennas. One option that may be
worth further research is for each country reporting CCD, to map out their
bee colonies that are dying and compare it to maps of antennas and power
levels of EMR in those areas.
This is an impending environmental nightmare that could affect the entire
human race. Much further research needs to be put into the problem and no
items should be ignored, specially electro magnetic radiation. Please read
