Varroa Mite or Electromagnetic Fields? New Research into the Death of Bees

[Redaktion Buergerwelle e.V. (BI Omega-CI Omega)]

Please find attached a letter addressed to all German, Austrian and
Swiss bee keeping organisations from the Kompetenz Initiative,
translated by hese-uk, You might find this information useful.

Sarah

We are not a campaign or pressure group but a scientific platform, set
up to inform the public of the latest scientific research regarding the
effect of electromagnetic fields on the environment and nature. We are
looking particularly at the microwave radiation emitted by the now
50,000 phone masts and WIMAX towers in the UK that were put up from
1994. The microwave radiation emitted is up to trillions of times higher
than the natural background levels in this frequency that existed up
until 1994.

I hope you will take the time to read the attached letter and maybe
publish it on your website. An English translation of the German 45 page
brochure "Bees, Birds and People - The destruction of Nature as a result
of electrosmog" will be available free on the web as soon as funding can
be found for the translation.

You might also like to look up our website, supported by a large number
of eminent International scientists advising hese-uk. The extensive list
of published material concerning the effects of electromagnetic fields
on bees might also be of interest to you .

Should you be interested in any aspect of our work or would like to
discuss some of the findings listed with the scientists themselves,
please don't hesitate to get in touch.

If we are talking about British bees being wiped out within ten years,
we hope that all avenues presenting possible solutions should be
examined to avoid disaster.
