Glad you know me- I did see the setup and could not resist.

The larger issue (and why  I poked fun at the article) is when will you ever
have a cell phone in a hive? Forget about how long it was there.

If you want to see if radiation affects bees, then fine (and there are
better experiments as Jorg posted), but again, what is the point? My take is
that this was just another cell phone radiation hit piece.

But I do see a lot of people with them to their ears piping away.
