Bees don't fly in the dark and it's freaking me out

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

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?

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 is so interesting!!
