Sound recording bees Embercombe Sustainability Centre in the heart of Holden Forest. The contact microphone (which I expected to work well) did not pick up any bee activity, even though I could hear them myself.
Because of cold weather I could not use Betty (Be) the head and the binaural microphone for fear of exposing the hive to the cold, so I push the mics inside and still picked up some interesting results. I intend to return each month and make a new recording up until summer when they will be much more active.
Unfortunately whilst making the recordings we found a hive with bees with very deformed wings, a very bad sign in bee world, but a very common occurrence for beekeepers.
