Are Cellphones Killing Honeybees?

Summary:There is a fact that the world honeybee population is decreasing around the globe. Scientists have various possible explanations for why that is happning, such as cold weather, genetically-modified crops, and viruses. They have another explanation now and it is mobile phones. Swiss researchers have done a study which is about the relationship between mobile phones and the honeybee population. One of the researchers, Daniel Favre says his study shows a relationship between the growing use of cellphones and declining bee populations. He recorded the bees' sounds with mobile phones in the hive. He observed what the bees were like when the mobile phones were active and inactive.  From this observation, it is discovered that the bees weren't disturbed by mobile phones that were inactive or on standby. However, active and ringing cellphones confused the bees and caused them to fly away from and leave the hive.  That shows that honeybees are sensitive to electromagnetic fields generated by the mobile telephones.

Comment: This news was very interesting to read.I was surprised at this article because I did not expect there was a relationship between mobile phones and the honeybee population. I think we should think about other animals or insects even though mobile phones are indispensable for us today. 

Golden Week

 How was your Golden Week? Even though  we did not really have it this year,

 mine was awesome. I went to shopping and hung out with my friends a lot.

My friend came to Hyogo from Gunma on May 3rd. He is one of my frineds

that went abroad with me.I was  so excited when I saw him because it was

the first time to see him in a year. We enjoyed  Takoyaki party together.

We went to Karaoke and sang all the night. He went back to Gunma on May 4th.

 My another friend came to Hyogo from Hiroshima, which is the city where

I'm from, on May 5th. She is my high shool friend and stayed with me for 4 days.

That 4days were awesome. We met other friends from high school who are in

Osaka and talked a lot. I felt like I went back to high school:)

  I was kind of sad when I found out  I could not go back to Hiroshima and see

my family and all my friends in Hiroshima, but I had so much fun with my friends

during Golden Week this year:)

My Childhood

                          I was born in Hiroshima on January 11th,1992. I was a really little girl.

This is my favorite picture. I like how I was sitting on the chair.

I liked ridng a tricycle.

                                             I went to "Ryusen Kindergardwn" for 4 years.

me and my best friend,Sakina

I was too active so I remember that I got hurt many times when I was little.

I liked to watch "Anpanman" more than "sailor moon".

My dream was to be a mermaid.

I went to "Fuchuchuo elementary school" for 6 years.

I was always singing.I still have a song that I recorded with my friend.

It's so funny to listen.

I started running when I was 10. I participated "Ekiden" every year till I graduate.

My dream was to be a flight attendant.

I remember lots of memories in middle school and high school and I cannot write everything.

So please ask me about it if you want to know:)
