How far should bees be located from the high voltage power lines?

摘要

A summary by Helen Bond, Newton Abbot Branch, of an article by Zbigniew Lipinski, published in the Journal of Apicultural Research, 28th September 2006.In the above article the author attempts to answer the question by drawing on the information from several other articles describing the results of various experiments and trials involving bees exposed to electromagnetic fields. In order to understand his conclusions it is helpful to understand the underlying physics, so I hope you will forgive me if I spend a little time on the technical detail first.
