The Honey Bee says: STOP 5G - 5th Generation Wireless Technology

Headline News

The harmful effects of EMFs on nature are scientifically based and have been under-reported for over a decade. Here are just a few facts most people would like to know.

• Technology is quite literally destroying nature. . . with electromagnetic radiation from power lines and cell towers. . . 5G could increase threat. Newsweek, 2018

• 180 scientists and doctors from 35 countries have signed a recommendation for a 5G moratorium.

• 5G increases body temperature of insects. Pro Natura, 2019

• A $30 million US National Toxicology Program (NTP) study in 2018 found “clear evidence” that cell phone radiation is linked to cancer.

• . . . unprecedented exposure interferes with the natural functioning of humans, animals, and plants.

Dr. Ulrich Warnke: Bees and Mankind: Destroying Nature by ‘Electrosmog’, 2009

• “Birds disappearing mysteriously. . . bees under threat.

. . . increasing evidence EMF pollution such as cell towers,

cell phones, cordless phones and wifi is a factor.”

Dr. Andrew Goldsworthy, 2009 The Birds, the Bees and EMF Pollution

• EMFs can cause cancer.

(Hardell and Carlberg, 2018) (Soffritti, 2016) (Peleg, 2018)

• Electromagnetic Fields A ‘Credible Threat’ To Wildlife Joel M. Moskowitz, Ph.D., Principia Scientific International, 2018

• “Due to electromagnetic smog, honeybees are often unable to

return to their hives (Harst et al., 2006; Favre, 2011; Sharma & Kumar 2010; Sahib, 2011),

the resulting massive loss of workers thenleads to a colony collapse (e.g. Harst et al. 2006; Sharma a nd Kumar 2010), which is why electromagnetic radiation has been suggested as one

potential cause of colony collapse disorder (CCD) (e.g. Warnke 2009; Sahib 2011)”

Journal of Insect Conservation (Lázaro et al, 2016)

• Radiation impacts on wild birds documented nest abandonment, plumage deterioration and death. Lab studies of chick embryos documented heart attacks and death. (Al Manville PhD USFWS, 2016)

• EMFs evoke aversive behavior,

developmental anomalies and mortality in studied animal groups.
