"With the help of more than 400 volunteers, including elementary students and teachers, scientists placed small microphones in bee-pollinated areas along the path of totality in Missouri, Oregon and Idaho. The microphones were 'placed as far as possible from foot and vehicle traffic,' researchers wrote in the report.

During the majority of the total solar eclipse in August 2017, the bees continued to buzz and work. But then, for a short period of time as totality hit and darkness swept over, the bees stopped." foxnews.com/science/bees-briefly-ceased-to-buzz-during-total-solar-eclipse-study-finds [foxnews.com]
