I heard a bee-keeper on the radio today who thinks it might be a type of mite, which weakens the bees immune system. They have been dealing with them for years, but he thought that maybe the beekepers had not treated the bees for the mite as much as they are supposed to. He said it will become clearer in about 6 months, if it is the mite or not. He thought the cell-phone idea was nonsense.
