It might suggest if the corn fields are free of bees and pollinators we are
looking at (for example) the fish left when a lake is drained?

I can remember when you could not run barefoot across the yard without
stepping on a bee in spring.
Now the bees are like "four leaf clovers". Around but not as plentiful as
three leaf clovers.

Others look at the video like Lionel and I did and count the honeybees.

PS I loved the video Paul like I said the first time I saw the video. Brings
back memories!
I used to lay in the clover and watch the bees fly over me. Listen to their
buzzing while working the flowers.

Wikipedia:
The buzz sound comes from the bees wings. 200-230 beats PER SECOND.

Beekeeper version why bees buzz:
You would buzz to if somebody stole your honey and nectar.
