I had a pacemaker fitted a couple of weeks ago and wondered if anybody else who's had one has noticed that it changed their bees temperament. A friend helped me today and my bees were definitely more unsettled than they have been before which is possibly a coincidence but it made me wonder.

I've no idea what's inside a pacemaker but pretty sure there will be an oscillator circuit to provide timing. It might be producing a frequency that upsets the bees. I had a cree led torch that bees attacked when on but they ignored when off.
Just guessing though.
