I can't vouch for it quite, but seems plausible.

"Now a limited study at Landau University has found that bees refuse to
return to their hives when mobile phones are placed nearby. Dr Jochen
Kuhn, who carried it out, said this could provide a "hint" to a possible
cause."

"Dr George Carlo, who headed a massive study by the US government and
mobile phone industry of hazards from mobiles in the Nineties, said: "I
am convinced the possibility is real."

Quite simply, they don't have to return home
because they have mobile phones. That's the whole
point of a mobile phone. Even bees know that,
presumably.

Cheers,

That's the buzz, anyhow.  You have to admit, though: that cell phone idea is
a honey of an explanation.

True, but I'm more curious about the charges
outside their cells, unless they have a really
sweet roaming plan. Here we get stung for up to
a buck a minute once we leave the hive.

I understand at one point the downtown Santa Fe public library was
planned to be an initial public wifi hotspot.  Concerned citizens
suggested that the walls be lined in foil to protect the public from the
radiation...  I guess they didn't notice that large tower just a block
away!

well,.... apparently FRIAM is a little short of environmentalists.
There are a lot of animal navigation methods we don't understand yet,
and the fact that bees are loosing theirs a large region at a time now
has absloutely huge economic and ecological significance.
