Electric Pollution from Power Lines Disrupts Honeybee Behavior

Speedy Summary

• Airborne electric fields from power lines are impacting honeybee foraging behavior.
• Research indicates that electric pollution caused by power lines discourages bees from landing on nearby flowers.
• Honeybees and bumblebees use electro-reception through hairs or antennae to detect airborne electric fields, aiding in communication and locating nectar-rich flowers.
