Norwegian EMF researcher Einar Flydal responds to NRK's coverage of mysterious bee deaths in Telemark. While NRK blames varroa mites, Flydal points to radio waves — citing research since Marconi's 1901 transmissions when bees vanished from the Isle of Wight.

"The same mite was also blamed when bees vanished from the Isle of Wight after December 12, 1901, when Marconi started his large radio station with transmissions across the Atlantic. But now we know better..."

"Since Marconi's days, numerous experiments and experiences with bees and radio transmitters have shown that bees are disturbed and flee. It takes no more than a mobile phone near the hive, or a cell tower, and they become restless."
[original: "Siden Marconis dager har en rekke forsøk og erfaringer med bier og radiosendere vist at biene plages og flykter. Det skal ikke mer til enn en mobil nærme bikuben, eller en mobilmast, så blir de urolige."]
