Bill: > with a high-tension  power line dropped close to ground above full size hivesWe are way off topic when comparing the high voltage AC distribution grid to an intermittent DC pulse from a fence charger.<

Not really, the Lions study tested a DC high-voltage line.  My point being - yes they saw a behavioral response, but it intentionally was the most extreme case. I suspect EPRI wanted to end the argument with these trials.

Bees didn't leave, and colonies survived.  Therefore, I highly doubt that intermittent DC pulses from a fence charger would have much, if any, effect.

Apparently, I was not clear.
