Electric signals from power lines discourage bees from landing on nearby flowers, and there is growing concern that this so-called “electric pollution” could be causing widespread disruption to insect behaviour.

Honeybees are getting confused by electric pollution from power lines

Airborne electric fields similar to those from nearby power lines seem to have a dramatic effect on honeybee foraging, raising concerns about widespread impacts on pollinators

🦇 #NoMowMay is here! If you have lawn in your garden, even if it's a small patch, do pack away the lawnmower and let it grow wild in May (and beyond)! This will attract a range of insects which all UK bats eat. More about gardening for bats www.bats.org.uk/advice/garde...
