Environmental Health News covers the 2023 Science Advances field and laboratory study by Molina-Montenegro et al. reporting that EMF from active high-voltage transmission towers induced physiological stress in honeybees, reduced flower visits, and affected plant reproduction.

"A 2023 study published in Science Advances by Molina-Montenegro et al. found that exposure to electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation emitted by high-voltage transmission power line towers induced significant physiological stress in honeybees and negatively impacted their pollination behavior."

β€” Environmental Health News

"These effects were only observed when the electric power transmission towers were actively emitting EMF."

β€” Environmental Health News

"Our study provides strong evidence of detrimental effects of EMF on honeybee’s visitation and plant reproduction and may contribute to explaining, at least in part, the global pollination crisis that risks the adequate production of many crops."

β€” Molina-Montenegro et al., quoted by Environmental Health News
