Dr. Olav Ruepell, Dr. Esmaeil Amiri (Biology) and graduate students in the Ruepell Research group published an article in The Science of Nature journal about honey bee experiments they conducted during the solar eclipse of 2017 at the University of Clemson. For their research, they compared foraging and homing activities of hives with varying food supplies and brood populations. The article and results can be found here, and a description of the work that took place during the eclipse is viewable here.
