This is what was discussed about a month back.  Peter posted this:

Abstract – The worldwide maintenance of the honeybee has major ecological, economic, and political
implications. In the present study, electromagnetic waves originating from mobile phones were tested for
potential effects on honeybee behavior. Mobile phone handsets were placed in the close vicinity of honeybees.
The sound made by the bees was recorded and analyzed. The audiograms and spectrograms revealed that active
mobile phone handsets have a dramatic impact on the behavior of the bees, namely by inducing the worker
piping signal. In natural conditions, worker piping either announces the swarming process of the bee colony or
is a signal of a disturbed bee colony.

What is new is headlines like this:  "Cellphones Cause Bees to Swarm to Their Death, Says a New Study"

I am getting links to this from friends who think that I need to know this important discovery.
