Microwaves are RF. Radio Frequency (RF) at the microwave region do exibit line of sight characteristics, but Cell phone TOWERS are line of sight in all directions from the top of the tower looking down and towards to horizon.
It is more than possible that the mircowave rf at that power level could interfere with the bees ability to navigate.
Man made RF radiation is the backbone of the entire wireless industry. European studies have shown a link between brain tumors and cellphone use above 500 hours per month.
A microwave oven is just a microwave radio transmitter, and you can see the effect. In the navy, sailors have been killed because they were standing in front of a radar antenna as the radar was turned on, which transmitting very high power Mircowave "RF". All of my handheld radios have warnings about not letting the antenna line up with your eyes.
Use of microwaves as a weapon is very old news.
I find it amazing how quickly people dismiss the possibly of the link to bee navigation.
This bee story is 6 months old. Colony Collapse Syndrome began last year in the U.S. About 1/2 of the worlds food supply relies on the bees pollinating the plants.
The cause is still unknown, but the mite and other predators were ruled out long ago.
Remember all wireless technology uses RF, at UHF and higher frequencies, including Bluetooth, GPS, Family Radios, Job site radios, Police Radar Guns, Cellphones and Cellphone towers, which are verywhere.
