As a nonprofit, we may earn a small commission from Amazon when you shop through the links on our site. Clicking the bee is the best way to do that. These funds go directly toward supporting our bee conservation and education efforts. We only recommend products we genuinely trust and believe will benefit our community and pollinators.

  • Strong evidence now indicates that both low-frequency (ELF) and radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields—especially around 900 MHz and high-voltage sources—can impair bee health, behavior, learning, and pollination.
  • Some earlier studies (e.g., linking wireless radiation to CCD) were methodologically flawed or misrepresented and should be approached with caution.
  • This is an emerging area of concern, with clear implications for bee conservation, ecosystem health, and pollinator management—especially as our world becomes more saturated with wireless technologies.
