Some month ago I had the same question, since a HP line were built
streight over some of my apiaries and over two of my fecundation fields.
I posed the same question to bee-l as you did.
My experience: No problems at all. The queens mated well,(near 8000)
since the electricity service started(300 megawatts). Besides that,
we had the best honey crop since 5 years. Of course, the good crop is
not the result from the power line , but as I could experience, the line
doesn4t harm the bees.
You can sleep well as I can again !
