The population of bees is rapidly decreasing, and researchers believe this is linked to the extensive use of mobile phones. Although it may seem hard to find a link between the two, it’s speculated that the large amount of radiation given off by mobile phones interferes with a bee’s navigation system, making it hard for them to find their way back home to their hives.

Researchers have backed up this theory by studying the change in bees' behaviour when around power lines. So next time a lost bee asks to use your mobile, say no!
