Electrical towers' electromagnetic fields harm honeybees' pollination.

TL;DR Summary
A study by a team of biologists and ecologists from Chile and Argentina has found that electromagnetic fields emanating from electrical towers disrupt pollinating honeybees, which in turn affects the surrounding plant community. The researchers found that the frequency of visits to flowers closest to a tower were approximately 308% lower than in areas where there were no towers. The study suggests that electromagnetic fields around electrical towers have a detrimental impact on honeybee pollination.
