Several studies recently have found a bee colony devastation caused by microwave radiation from mobile phones and transmitter towers. These studies find that the worker bees fail to return to the nest when their natural navigation skills harassed by mobile phones microwaves. When a mobile phone placed near a beehive, the beehive is too “totally left to die” within a period of 5-10 days for worker bees not get back to the nest.
Parasites, wild animals, or other bees that normally would “pillage” the honey and pollen in the colony that was abandoned, it will not do it to the colony.
According to research conducted at Landau University, when a mobile phone placed near a beehive, the existing radiation (900-1800 MHz) is enough to make the workers could not find the hive again. The scientists found that radiation of the mobile phone could interfere the line of communication with the resonance between the bees and its hive.
Natural navigation skills workers from the bees depend on the earth’s magnetic field. Electromagnet waves emanating from a mobile phones and the transmitter towers, disrupting the balance of the earth’s magnetic field, resulting in loss of natural navigation abilities of bees.
In addition, it is found that the mobile phone radiation also able to cause damage to the nervous systems of bees, so they are no longer able to fly.
This phenomenon has resulted the natural balance in the world of agriculture became disturbed by the increasing number of bee colonies are destroyed, and also diminishing the existing level of harvest. The bee is an animal that is very active role in the pollination process of plants throughout the world. So the threat of disruption of the balance of nature, not only occur in formal agriculture, but also on the global ecosystem. This could increase the risk of food crisis.
That need to be other considerations is that if the mobile phone radiation could affects the nerves and natural communication channels of bees, how to effect the health of us all?

If you have a beehive and would like to shield it from electromagnetic radiation, simply wrap it with foil.
For added protection stake a wire into the ground and connect it to your foil lining.
A large galvanized or stainless steel nail or screw hammered into the ground would do the trick. Other metals would do fine but might rust sooner. Copper and iron tend to corrode. You’d have to replace them eventually if they do.
Instead of foil, you could use a fine-mesh metal screen or some sheet metal if you so choose. I just say foil because you ‘prolly already have some in your house.
Make sure it’s secured so the wind doesn’t blow it off, say with some weatherproof caulking or other weatherproof glue.
I would ‘prolly look for something like 100% Silicone. If it says “safe for food contact” or it’s made for sealing aquariums, that’s cool. I’d think it to have less of the industrial solvents in there that might interfere with a bee.
If you use a metal that is prone to rust, be sure to paint it where it’s exposed, but make sure the metal on the lid can touch the side without any paint in the way. Leave that bare so it makes contact.
Be sure to leave enough space for the bees to get in and out, and be certain to leave enough space for ventilation. Air is good. We don’t want to suffocate them in there. They can regulate the temperature if you let them.
Bees can always fill in gaps if they need to, but they can’t make the air gaps any bigger if you don’t make ‘em big enough to begin with. This is especially true in the wintertime, as moisture can freeze in there.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage – The idea of the foil wrap is that the electromagnetic radiation will stay outside of your box, especially if you connect this to the ground.
