New thought: Do you guys move your colonies around like the crop follower beekeepers do in the US?

As people walk around, the location of their cellphones change. What if the cell phone signals don't hurt the bees so much as play tricks with their navigation. The network that the bees were using to navigate is altered so the bees can't find home and they die.

A little research to correlate where the beehive was relative to the cell towers when the bees went missing would help. Tough to do historical research on individual cell phones, but should be easy to test in the field.

Do these big farms use Nextel to stay in touch?
