Hum of the Hive
Honeybees produce their buzzing sound by the rapid movement of their flight muscles and wings. In reality, a bee doesn’t hum at one fixed note, but a collective of notes and frequencies. Wing movement, temperature, colony activity, and the bee’s behavior all affect the humming frequency. It varies greatly and a colony’s sound can change quickly when bees are warming the hive, preparing to swarm, or responding to disturbance.
The commonly heard hive “hum” is most comparable to key of C between 200-250 Hz which has healing affects on the mind and body.
At Golden Sorella Co., Hum of the Hive is an immersive listening experience featuring a live audio recording of our very own bees!
It’s all the buzz. ✨
