This is an audio recording taken on August 21, 2017. It captures the mesmerizing and somewhat overwhelming sounds of a bee swarm that has taken over an aspen tree. The recording is stereo and mid-side, meaning it offers a rich, multidimensional sonic experience. As you listen, you can hear the constant, frenzied buzzing of the bees as they move en masse, their wings fluttering at incredible speed. The sound is almost hypnotic, a testament to the power and organization of these small yet industrious creatures. Intermittently, you can also hear the gentle rustle of aspen leaves, a soft, natural melody that provides a calming contrast to the intense hum of the swarm. This ambient noise provides a vivid sense of place, transporting you directly under the shade of the aspen tree as the bees continue their tireless work above.
