A number of other articles about this out there, though none of the "big" media (CNN, BBC, MSNBC, New York Times, etc.) has picked it up yet. I certainly want to see independent verification.

Seems as though the "big" media has only recently picked this up but they are not profiling it as they would some other items of interest. I think I heard on ABC, morning local news, just a small mention of cell phones being a probable cause but not a definite one, for the disappearance of our Honeybees. My neighbor has about 10 hives and so far when I go out the Honeybees seem to be quite healthy and buzzing around doing the things Honeybees do, as usual. So far nothing strange happening around here as of yet. An interesting read on the link you have provided there Mike, enjoyed it, thanks :D
