You know that music note ypu hear at the hospital when a baby is born?
Well bees do something similar, when new bees emerge from their cells some time after they've arrived into the world they begin with understanding their surroundings.
This can be heard and seen clearly outside the hive and it's known as "orientation".
The bees come to the outside of the hive and start doing figure 8s at the entrance and even fly far above the hive to basically recalibrate their internal compass so to speak.
So what's the similarity? They're both the music of life.
Queen pipping is still somewhat of a mystery in the beekeeping world. We believe this is a sound made by the queen when a fight is about to occur or perhaps it just talk between her and her workers...or maybe she's just singing.
She sounds a bit like a clucking hen 🤔
Whatever the reason it's a fascinating and unexpected sound to hear when opening up the hive and I wanted to share the rare experience we encountered with you 🎵 🎶 🐝
The things we do for bees 😅and the places they call home ❤️

Love a swarm call that only requires a latter 😊
This video was made when I was pretty sick, so excuse the coughing.
So right in the back yard my Husband Manny and I had the opportunity to capture the Golden opportunity of swarms.
8 ft high bundle of honey makers shook into a box thats a days work.
After a unfortunate hive abscond I was left with a beautiful fertile queen that needed a home.

Swarm capture in Destin Florida
Turned out to be a bigger job than originally thought. Bees were reluctant to enter the nucleus, so kept checking for queen.
Just as I strapped them down to the back of the suv I checked one more time after a final smoke and guess what I found?
