Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that honey bees can see in the dark?

No. One peer-reviewed study reports that honey bees typically do not fly in the dark and crash within 100 ms when suddenly placed in mid-flight darkness, indicating they cannot see in the dark. The remaining retrieved items concern unrelated honey bee topics such as gut bacteria, pollination, and pesticide toxicity.
