Honeybees produce different buzzing sounds depending on what they are doing. Their buzz is created by the rapid movement of their flight muscles and wings.

Hum of the Hive
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. ✨
