I've heard this as well, but there are a number of theories at this point as to why including the possibility that maybe we've finally used too much pesticides on our poor world.

The cell phone theory however does seem to have some merit as it apparently has been proven that when flying close to a cell phone, bees lose their navigational ability. Whether or not cell's can be attributed to the losses being accrued however, has yet to be proven.

Maybe though...just maybe, until they've figured it all out for certain, people could try a little harder not to talk on cell phones unless it's completely necessary. I've turned mine off until I need it, I hope others will do the same.
