"Big time industrial moneymaker."

Oh, yes, by all means let's shut down cellular service to save the bees. The only consequences would be that some fat cat corporation would lose money.

We're already in a phase where every environmental brainfart is being given top priority in legislation. Out here in California it's worse than other places.

The Usual Gangs of Idiots (apologies to Mad Magazine) have been after the cell phone industry for a while now, and frustrated by numerous studies that simply refuse to cough up the scientific results they're demanding.

Of course, a rational exploration of this would investigate the relationship of electromagnetic radiation of all kinds and bee populations. It's not like radio was just invented, and I have seen beehive boxes under powerlines in the Midwest.
