ya I know the video is rubbish even for me but I hope the sound is acceptable. There is a little bit of noise from the camera and me breathing but most of the sound is from the bees. not many beekeepers know about this sound but hearing this can tell you a lot about the hive: it can tell you the bees are building comb, they have a queen (bees dont make much comb if they are queen-less) and it can tell you that they have plenty of food. I once bought a stethoscope just to be able to listen for this but I never did use it in the year of beekeeping series since I cant seem to find it.
