The honey bee drones in C (C♮). Roll over the notehead below. Sometimes, in honor of his namesake, he’ll drone down to a B (B♮). Ya know, like “B/Bee/Be natural”? Does anyone take reality seriously when this kind of thing exists?
The tone C might just be the most popular tone in America next to the industrial B hum. It’s possible that bees inspired the hum of our machines. C Major is an incredibly popular key. It is the “white keys” on a piano. It is a standard key for musical toys and little keyboards. Wesminster Quarters, the bellsong, is often in the key of C. And for Jupiter’s sake, Bees buzz it all day long!
Please be kind to your apian friends, by letting them be!
