>I still say I doubt very much if an electric fence next to a hive has the
slightest effect on honey bees.

Roughly 50 of our apiaries are protected by electric fences at 7-9000
volts.
We leave just a bear's arm reach between the outer hives and the fence.
I've never noticed any difference in behavior or productivity between the
colonies near or far from the fences.
