    So if you’re getting attacked by bees, run into a cave? Or turn the sun off.

      Possibly the best use for a Clapper light switch.

    If I recall from the last time this was posted on the alien site it’s less about flying in the dark and more about the light suddenly going out. In nature that means an impending storm most of the time, so the bees immediately land for shelter.

    That’s wild! Now I want to see what a beekeeper’s hive boxes look like during the middle of a solar eclipse. 🌝

    @Joeyfingis@beehaw.org do you think it hurts when they drop or they just know how to land super fast?

      It probably doesn’t even bother them!
