[QUOTE="John B, post: 6029, member: 207"] I wouldn't voluntarily place hives directly under high-voltage lines as they do produce a huge electrical field as can be seen with the fluorescent tube experiments. I also wouldn't want to live underneath them myself but like I said I have never seen any effect from ordinary electrical fields on bees. I have seen a lot of garbage written about electric fences causing bees to build their comb sideways . I prefer not to have bees too close to electric fence because of the effect the current has on me, not the bees. I was once not briefly unconscious by touching my veil (all design with steel gauze) on a fence and moved the hives after one of my companions was knocked unconscious and stopped breathing doing the same thing. It was a wet miserable day and the bees were filthy but fortunately he started breathing before I had to try and give him mouth-to-mouth. [/QUOTE]
