Just when you thought it was safe to talk on the phone again

> The effects of Electromagnetic radiations (EMR) are being felt by wildlife and the environment as a whole, birds, bees, worms, trees are being affected. So the main focus of present study was carried out to analyse the influence of cell phone radiations on the biochemical aspects of drone of Apis mellifera L. The drone was exposed for 30 mins to radiations using live cell phones kept in working mode with tape recorder at the speaker end and positive response at the receiver’s end. The results of the treatment were analyzed and compared with the control. 

> Mobile phones, Wi- Fi systems, electric power lines and similar sources of “electrosmog” are disrupting nature on a massive scale, causing birds and bees to lose their bearing, fail to reproduce and die. Animals that depend on natural electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields for their orientation and navigation are confused by the much stronger and constantly changing artificial fields. The role of EMR in causing CCD was supported by Carlo (2007).

> The present study concluded that there is definite influence of cell phone radiations on the biomolecules as well as on the enzyme activities present in the haemolymph of drone. These EMR radiations grossly interferred with the normal metabolic and physiological processes of A. mellifera.
