This is a reproduction of what John observed.
Of great interest to me is the understanding that the bee's frequency settles in between 250 and 300 Hertz. This varies with activity and excitement levels. The middle C note in the music scale, when tuned to the 444 Hz = A-note calibration, is 264 Hz. This is the octave below 528 Hz that I have written about in other articles. This makes their hum a harmonic resonance with this all-important Frequency of Life.
An article by Jen Fitschen in the e-zine Ginko Farms relays the actual benefits of the sound of bees.
"Nature is full of wonders and mysteries, and the tiny creatures known as bees are no exception. Beyond their vital role in pollination and honey production, bees possess a unique and awe-inspiring ability—the power to emit a healing vibrational frequency through their harmonious buzzing. We'll delve into the enchanting world of bees, exploring the science behind their harmonious buzz, how their buzzing energy can heal humans, and the intriguing ways bees communicate with us."
"Not all bee species buzz at the same frequency. Different species produce their distinct harmonious frequencies. For instance, honeybees have a frequency range of 250-300 Hz, while bumblebees typically buzz around 200-250 Hz."
This healing ability of the bee's humming sound has been developed into retreat centers that specialize in providing rooms that have beehives in close by so that their frequencies can be heard and appreciated.
Laura Sampson wrote an article in the Seatle Times:
"Sound healing is simple: Certain sounds and vibrations can positively affect the body's cells and nervous system, reducing stress and encouraging healing. Techniques such as sound baths, where participants are enveloped in soothing sounds from instruments like gongs, singing bowls, and tuning forks are becoming increasingly mainstream.
Honeybees offer another intriguing method of vibroacoustic healing. In Europe and the United States bee huts provide a unique form of sound therapy, utilizing the gentle buzzing of bees to create a calming, healing environment for bee therapy participants."
Laura went on to describe the "Bee Huts" that are being offered at some of the retreats.
"A bee hut is a small cabin or outbuilding that houses one or several bee hives on one side while offering a small healing area for humans. The two areas are separated by a screen to keep bees and humans safe from each other. While the bees go about their day, humans can experience the healing buzz and breath of the colony.
The constant, low-frequency vibrations from the buzzing bees profoundly affect the nervous system, similar to the effects experienced in traditional sound baths."
Another interesting observation was noted in John Stewart-Reeds article about how the Rosslyn Chapel was constructed.
"Note; regarding the sacred bees of Rosslyn Chapel In Medieval times, bees were considered to be sacred messengers of God, and in the roof of Rosslyn Chapel, near Edinburgh, Scotland, stonemasons created an opening in an intricately carved flower, to create a beehive within a stone roof pinnacle, a protected place where no one could see or reach; for centuries no one knew of its existence. The stonemasons also created mysterious cymatic patterns in stone cubes within the
Lady Chapel. Centuries of visitors were unaware that the beautiful ceiling cubes contained music, but the 'music of the cubes,' was finally decoded and played by father and son team, Thomas and Stuart Mitchell.
They named the music: The Rosslyn Motet."
