NOTE: A unit conversion table for electromagnetic fields (EMFs) has been added at bottom, showing how, for instance, one-half of a volt per meter is equivalent to two-thirds of a milliWatt per square meter.
Pollinators, like bees, are of pivotal importance to the food supply. But as reported by The Defender, they are threatened with extinction. The extinction of pollinators would have devastating impacts on the world food supply.

The essay in The Defender does a fantastic job of revealing how pesticides have contributed to the demise of pollinators, but another important possible cause which should not be overlooked is electromagnetic radiation, such as 5G.
In 2012, using an electromagnetic field (EMF) with a strength that was just half of a volt per meter (~0.5 V/m), researchers obliterated the visual memory of ants. The peak EMF output of a cell phone at 5 centimeters to 20 centimeters distance can reach up to over 20 V/m (over 40 times higher than it took to obliterate the visual memory of ants).
The researchers mentioned how the EMFs from telecommunication services can explain the recent demise of bees — now known as “colony collapse disorder.”
A year later, they published another study showing how they could endanger/destroy an entire ant colony with low-level exposure to EMFs. Here is a chilling quote:
After 180 h of exposure, their colonies deteriorated.
In 2020, researchers modelled the power absorption which bees face when exposed to EMFs, and discovered that there was an exponential increase as the frequency went up. This is explained by their small bodies, because higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths, which resonate more in their small bodies.
But that’s the precise danger with 5G:
higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths
It is a travesty that no official review of the effects of 5G on the world’s animal life has been performed, let alone on humans, even though it has been rolled out so fast in so many places.
Another disturbing report using low levels of EMF in rats (also ~0.5 V/m) found increased permeability in the blood-brain barrier.
To repeat, the peak electric field strength at 5 centimeters to 20 centimeters of a cell phone can reach up to over 20 V/m — over 40 times higher than the dose needed to disrupt brain function (in either ants or rats). There should be a huge neon sign around 5G saying:
Proceed with Caution
