This is Scientific American's 60-second science. I'm Christopher in Taliatta.

Last summer's total solar eclipse sliced right through Columbia, Missouri.

It was remarkable.

As a biologist, I generally reserve that word remarkable for biological phenomena.

Candice Galen is based at the University of Missouri in Columbia.

And being a biologist, she thought,

why not use this astronomical phenomenon to study a biological one? Specifically, as the skies

darkened, would daytime pollinators like bumblebees and honeybees call it quits?

What better activity during the eclipse than to go out with a recorder and record the bees.

So Galen asked 400 citizen scientists, including young students,

to place audio recorders in 16 flower patches along the path of totality,

in Oregon, Idaho, and Missouri.

When they analyzed the audio, they found that during partial eclipse,

bee buzzing continued.

But when totality hit, the bees went silent.

And only the conversational buzz of human observers could be heard.

Then, as the moon passed and the sun again lit up the sky, the bees regained their buzz.
