| Inside a beehive made into a house ceiling |
It is believed that the inside of the beehive is a reflection of our planet, the more we discover about the interior workings of the hive, the more we will learn about the self destruction of bio-diversity on Earth.
In order to take the audience into the hive I must first go there myself. Using a variety of sound recording devices from ordinary microphones to specialist binaural microphones I hope to uncover the world inside the hive though the bees own highly sophisticated communication system of sounds and vibrations.
*The binaural microphone sits aside the sound recorders ears picking up surrounding sounds as she/he is hearing them, placing the listener in an exact sound replica of the original situation.*
I predict that the sounds inside the hive will grow more and more vibrant as the seasons change from winter though spring into summer (the height of bee activity). At this most active stage in the bee calender I hope to use a contact microphone linked to the outside of the hive which will pick up the vibrations from inside.
