The increased exposure of insects to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) may have an impact on their health. The RF-EMF absorbed power in certain insects is considerably higher in the range of 6-300 GHz, due to more comparable wavelengths to their size. Likewise, in this range, the near-field interactions between antennas' and certain insects can significantly affect antennas' performance.

It has been suggested that the wireless network evolution to smaller carrier wavelengths (from 2G to 5G) increases radio-frequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) absorption in Western Honey Bees (Apis mellifera). It is unknown whether the radiation performance of antennas is stable when an insect appears in their vicinity. In this research, the absorbed power in a worker honey bee and the influence of the bee's presence on antennas' radiation performance is investigated for the newly used frequencies in 5G networks, from 6-240 GHz.
