Beeline to Fury: Korean Farmers Declare War on Wind Power – For Wrecking Communities & Killing Bees

According to residents of the Hyonggye-ri village interviewed by The Korea Herald, they are just beginning to realize the impact of industrial wind energy facilities on people and animals.

Beekeeper Ahn Hyo-jong said that he lost thousands of bees last year. “I believe the wind turbines’ low frequency is the direct cause,” said Ahn, who has now moved entire beekeeping colonies to another area out of fear of incurring additional losses.

Beekeeper Ahn Hyo-jong shows one of his dead hives that he says resulted from the noise from wind turbines.

It is not just the bees that are impacted by the noise, according to the residents. Without bees in the region, there has been a sharp decrease in the production of apples.

They have seen other creatures like dragonflies — which prey on insects harmful to farming – disappear in the last three years

Endangered species like eagle owls that live in the mountain are also at risk of extinction due to the ongoing construction, the residents say.
