Honey bees Mount Abu

Long standing bee hives in the compound of the Bsnl compound

Now deserted

Hives now deserted could it be because of the tower

Another favourite spot the tree over the parking space on way to the Lake

If you observe carefully, most of the bee hives are deserted. Was it the extreme heat that Abu experienced this year, or the disturbance to the hives by the sloth bear in the winter months or worse the setting up of Mobile towers all over Abu over these last few years that have caused the bees to desert their colony of hives.

Do bees get disoriented? Could it be possible because the towers are right up against the hives the microwave radiation from phones and their relaying towers have an effect on these vulnerable busybodies? I wonder if this could also have an effect on the people living in the town of Abu as I have observed quite a few towers bang in the center of town , two towers are close to schools, could it effect these children who are there for hours on end six days of the week?

I am no expert in this field but would love the opinion of experts who are unbiased, and who do not have an axe to grind in this world of ours

Bees Invade Class 7 St.Mary’s School Mount Abu

A fortnight ago there was abs pandemonium in class 7 as a swarm of bees invaded the class via the open window above the refractory. The students ran helter-skelter and made a bee line for the door. Quite a few students and the teacher Ms Jennifer were at the receiving end. Ms Jennifer got stung 5 times on the back and chest, one of the teachers helped remove the projectiles left behind by the attacking bees, the students who were stung were rushed to hospy for first aid treatment.
The bee hives are just outside the class room under the ledge, it was probably the fumes from the kitchen below that disturbed these little creatures. I believe some class X boys also were at the receiving end a few days later. The window above the hives is now sealed.
