Officials with Niagara Parks say even in places where it looks solid, the river is still flowing beneath the hardened surface.
尼亚加拉公园管理处官员表示， 即使在看上去坚固的地方，河水仍然在硬化的表面下流动。

美国国家运输安全委员会将把他们的信息添加到通常需要数月或更长时间才能完成的调查中，尽管该组织预计将在一个月内得到初步报告。

A newly published and buzz-worthy study saw scientists outfit honeybees with itty-bitty QR codes to track their movements.
一项新发表、引起轰动的研究表明，科学家为蜜蜂配备了微型二维码来追踪它们的活动。
You know those weird little pixelated symbols that link you to info when scanned by your phone's camera?
您知道那些当您的手机摄像头扫描时会将您与信息联系起来的奇怪的小像素符号吗？
Well, researchers at Penn State University glued similar tiny codes, no bigger than a pinky nail, to the backs of some 30-plus thousand honeybees in various hive locations in Pennsylvania and New York that were outfitted with a digital scanning system.
宾夕法尼亚州立大学的研究人员将类似的微小代码（不大于小指甲）粘贴到宾夕法尼亚州和纽约州各个蜂巢位置的约 3 万多只蜜蜂背上，并配备了数字扫描系统。
The coded bees were then scanned as they exited and entered the hives in an effort to better understand the travel and foraging habits of the species.
然后，在编码的蜜蜂离开和进入蜂巢时对它们进行扫描，以便更好地了解该物种的迁徙和觅食习惯。
Published in the journal Hardware X, the results not only saw surprising evidence of how long the tagged bees spent outside the hives and factors that dictated their travel patterns, but the tracking also yielded unexpected new data suggesting honeybees may live up to twice as long as previously thought.
研究结果发表在《Hardware X》杂志上，不仅提供了有关被标记的蜜蜂在蜂巢外停留时间以及决定其迁徙模式的因素的令人惊讶的证据，而且追踪还产生了意想不到的新数据， 表明蜜蜂的寿命可能是之前认为的两倍。
That flies in the face of many schools of thought about these environmentally crucial critters.

Researchers say the tags they used were glued onto honeybees' backs and were harmless to the insects.
研究人员表示，他们使用的标签粘在蜜蜂的背上，对昆虫无害。
The monitoring systems themselves cost $1,500 per apiary.
每个蜂房的监测系统本身的成本为 1,500 美元。
And if these systems see more widespread use in the days ahead, it's hoped they can help answer questions about why bee populations have been decreasing around the world And what can be done to more effectively conserve these vital insects.
如果这些系统在未来得到更广泛的应用，希望它们能够帮助解答为什么世界各地的蜜蜂数量一直在减少以及如何更有效地保护这些重要昆虫的问题。
