There are now many new satellites and are becoming very more ( 30 000) in the next future. I read in the internet that this satellites have not ready investigates risks on healthy and nature due to the electromagnetic waves in the lower frequencies - does anybody know more about this? I am concerned about the increasing danger on the insects, because I believe that this is one of many reasons which is destroying the insects.

Dear Eva Dust and Readers,

Hello Eva,
In my own view, there won't be significant impact on insects or in particular bees due to these satellite transmissions. One thing I would like to bring to your kind attention that along with the man-made radio or EM Signals, there also exists natural radio waves both originating from the terrestrial sources as well as cosmological origins. The field intensity or flux density might vary for each of these sources and also is a function of the frequency (or wavelength). So, to finally conclude, insects are living and might have already adopted to the presence of not only the colored EM waves (of limited bandwidth radio signals) but all the way to the White Guasian Noise too!
What remains to be studied by the modern science is to demonstrate that such effect does exist (if at all) through practical or laboratory experiments and which I guess researchers like you are already pursuing.
Thanks with regards,
