One in three bites of food you eat exists because a bee pollinated it. But farmers near data centers are now saying their bees are disappearing. Researchers think they know why… Data centers produce powerful electromagnetic fields, and those fields disrupt the magnetic navigation systems bees have relied on for millions of years to find their way home. One farmer even said he has not seen a single bee since a data center was built near his property. A 2023 scientific review documented that EMF exposure in insects causes decreased reproductive capacity, altered behavior, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and impaired development. And we are adding this threat on top of a crisis that was already at a breaking point. The US lost 55.6% of managed bee colonies in 2024 to 2025, the worst single year loss ever recorded. One in three bites of food eaten globally depends on pollination, and 1.4 billion people worldwide depend on it directly for their income and food security. We are building AI infrastructure at record speed while the insects holding our entire food system together are dying at record rates. Texas farmers near data centers are also reporting disruptions to livestock circadian rhythms from artificial light. Big Tech is not accounting for what their actions do to the land around their Data Centers, and that needs to change. It’s time to find and support our local farmers and beekeepers so much that tech companies have no choice but to respect nature.
