There are different strong activities from the sun which could cause different radiation on the earth, but may be also from the far away space- if yes, there is this possiblitiy than there is perhaps for example an explanation for some animals and theire problems in earlier times - if for exampel this short bigger amount of radiation is only in a part of the earth and not all animals from this specis- for examples bees, could have got problems from it. May be with this thinking one could try to explain some nature and biological events from earlier times as for example historical bee dying.
Hi Eva, I am far to be a specialist in this topic but some researchers have worked on the impact of Sun's activity on the health:
Halberg, F; Cornélissen, G; Otsuka, K; Watanabe, Y; Katinas, GS; Burioka, N; Delyukov, A; Gorgo, Y; Zhao, Z (2000). "Cross-spectrally coherent ~10.5- and 21-year biological and physical cycles, magnetic storms and myocardial infarctions". Neuroendocrinology Letters. 21 (3): 233–258. PMID 11455355.
Lowell WE; Davis GE Jr. (2008). "The light of life: Evidence that the sun modulates human lifespan". Medical Hypotheses. 70 (3): 501–7. doi:10.1016/j.mehy.2007.05.053. PMID 17951015.
Dear Richard, thanks very much for this very quick and good answer. That sounds good, that this thought could be right of me if the sun activity even had an influende to our health. I would like to read the articles, but unfortunately I do not now where to get them- could you help me here one time again? Thanks and have a nice week, Sincerly, Eva Dust from Germany
Hi, the first paper is in fact available on Researgate. You will find it attached. The second one is not but I have just found another interesting one (see below):

Eva,
Several problems of heliobiology have been discussed here https://www.researchgate.net/post/Does_CME_affect_the_pulse_of_the_heart
and https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_is_the_possibility_of_a_Carrignton_Type_event_in_the_recent_future
I do not understand a role of radiation in the problem but it should be noted that there are 3 main sources of radiation: (1) Earth's magnetosphere (including magnetic storms), (2) Sun (solar cosmic ray), and (3) Universe (galactic cosmic rays). I am not expert in this topic. You can find an information about radiation on the large temporal scales in papers by Usoskin https://www.researchgate.net/profile/I_Usoskin
