It's Official - Cell Phones are Killing Bees

I particularly liked this comment from @proscriptus: "You’re treating the Daily Mail as a reputable source? That’s like quoting Fox News on the Liberal War on Marriage. Celphones and beehives are seldom in proximity, and the inverse square law means there would be essentially undetectable emissions from the phones even a few meters away. This is junk reporting."

I don't know if it is junk or isn't, but I wouldn't call it 'Official' myself based on this.

Edit: There's also a link to the research this is based on - http://www.kokopelli.asso.fr/documentation/favre.pdf . Self-published and not claiming that cell phones are killing bees, so a good point to begin further studies but, again, hardly 'Offical proof'.

Have they tried putting the cell phones on vibrate?

Seems like awfully close proximity to the bees, compared to what you see in nature, even in suburbia.

If you read the article at the Daily Mail there's a lot more info.
