I never suggested that this was evidence that cell phones kill bees, and frankly doubt that story myself. I just piped in that my phone really ticked them off.

Definition

Anecdotal evidence: Anecdotal evidence is unreliable evidence based on
personal experience that has not been empirically tested, and which is often
used in an argument as if it had been scientifically or statistically
proven. The person using anecdotal evidence may or may not be aware of the
fact that, by doing so, they are generalizing.

I was once planting a research block in a grower orchard during bloom. Went by the hives numerous times with no problems. Then my phone rang and I was swarmed and stung multiple times. It wasn't the sound of the ringing because the phone rang well away from the hive, but when I got within 50 feet of it with a call going, they attacked.

Food for thought.
