The reaction of bees to a total solar eclipse was met by articles in Smithsonian Magazine (https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/science-nature\/busy-bees-take-break-during-total-solar-eclipses-180970502\/<\/a>), entomology.org<\/a> (https:\/\/entomologytoday.org\/2018\/10\/10\/bees-stopped-buzzing-during-the-2017-total-solar-eclipse\/<\/a>) from Annals of the Entomological Society of America<\/i>, and The New York Times<\/i> (https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/10\/10\/science\/bees-eclipse-buzzing.html<\/a>).\u00a0 The bees buzzed up to the moment of totality and then fell silent for totality\u2019s duration!<\/div>\n
