The quickest way to destroy a bee hive, is to place a wireless telephone inside it.
Europe’s first UMTS network, which turned every cell phone into a computer, and every cell tower into a transmitter of broadband radiation, went into service in the fall of 2002—just before the disastrous winter during which so many of Europe’s honey bees vanished.
The international beekeeping community is extremely resistant to giving up its long-standing belief in the infectious nature of bee losses, and so, in the absence of evidence, most beekeepers are falling back on the only thing they know: more toxic pesticides to kill mites.
But the decimation of so many other insect species that are not subject to the same parasites is a strong hint that a non-infectious agent is at work. Exquisite sensitivity to electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated in a variety of insects.

The human spine is made of 33 individual bones or vertebrae.
The djed is one of the more ancient and commonly found symbols in ancient Egyptian religion. It is a pillar-like symbol representing stability. It is commonly understood to represent his spine.

The word amen has a value of 33 in simple English gematria: (a=1)+(m=13)+(e=5)+(n=14) = 33.
Arsenic a.k.a. The Poison of Kings has an atomic number of 33. Its alchemical symbol looks like a partially formed Star of David.

Deep Neural Networks for Form-Finding of Tensegrity Structures
This paper proposes a new form-finding method based on state-of-the-art deep learning techniques. One of the statical paradigms, a force density method, is substituted for trained deep neural networks to obtain necessary information of tensegrities. It is based on the differential evolution algorithm, where the eigenvalue decomposition process of the force density matrix and the process of the equilibrium matrix are not needed to find the feasible sets of nodal coordinates.

Tensegrity is a structural principle based on a system of isolated components under compression inside a network of continuous tension, and arranged in such a way that the compressed members do not touch each other while the prestressed tensioned members delineate the system spatially.
