Abstract
The Be/B neutrino flux anomaly has been examined within the framework of th e resonant spin-flavor precession scenario with twisting solar magnetic fie lds. It is found that the twist of the toroidal component of the solar magn etic field, leads naturally to a complete disappearance of Be-7 neutrinos e merging from one of the solar hemispheres. However, the Be-7 neutrino flux emerging from the other solar hemisphere with oppositely twisted magnetic f ield must survive completely. Thus, this scenario predicts seasonal variati ons of the Be-7 neutrino flux to be observed in the Borexino experiment.
