arrrr… but how many of ye lubbers have heard the piping of the Queen?

Honeybee queens before they’re mated and when they’re challenging another queen make a “zeep zeep” sound (lucky me to have heard this once or twice)

The buzzing is not a constant state. I’ve had them buzz super loudly when co-occupying a large squash flower… and with a bumble be going in. I saw it as a reminder that they were deep in the flower - like “I’m Walking Here!”
