Theoretically if electromagnetic pulses are strong enough in the atmosphere could it affect bees/insects?

Question

I've been told we have new weapons in the atmosphere that use electromagnetic pulses. So I'm thinking there could be a connection between it and the disappearing hunny bees?

Answer 1

You're talking about an Electromagnetic Pulse weapon (EMP). There's research on these, but if they've got one that works, nobody's admitting it.

But that wouldn't be what's affecting the bees. That's a world-wide phenomenon. An EMP pulse might affect them in a certain area, but not world-wide.

Answer 2

Any such pulses would effect other creatures, including humans. I know of no theory or even hypothesis that says bees have any special sensitivity that other insects do not have.
