I saw those reports also. Like the Navy’s very low radio transmissions disrupting whales and other living things. God only knows what effects changes make? Hopefully the honey bees will bounce back. I believe that cell phones are a scourge. All the school kids sitting in class day in, day out texting their friends. Phone to ear 24/7. Can’t be a good thing. Causes brain cancer....and kills bees. Aaargh!
If there's any science to the claim, I would think the cell towers themselves would be responsible, not the individual phone. The relative low output of a cell phone is nothing compared to the towers themselves, which act as repeaters/amplifiers designed to transport a mesh network of countless thousands of calls at any given moment. A similar principle applies to Doppler radar - when the microwave antennna in the radome is transmitting, the radiation put out will literally cook any birds that are unfortunate enough to be in the immediate vicinity.
