I appreciate the humor, but the experiment wasn't run that way.  The phones
were above a board, not in contact with the bees, and there was no ringing,
as the connection was maintained continuously.

What I find of interest, was that the bees did not appear to react to the
EMR until 30-30 minutes of signal had passed, and that they remained
disturbed for some time afterwards.  The question to me is, why the delay?

Although I do not suspect cell phones as causing CCD, I found the study
quite interesting, and feel that the author suggested good follow up
studies.
