The antennae and sensitive body hair of bees, in contrast to the ears of humans, are the primary means by which they detect sound, rather than the ears. The “sound” produced by the bees’ wagging dance is 250 oscillations per second (250Hz).

Are bees scared of loud noises?

Similarly, the bee is affected by noise pollution, which has a unique effect on its natural behaviors. As if the noise had put them into shock, honeybees will stop moving for around 20 minutes when they encounter noises between 300Hz and 1kHz at an intensity of between 107 and 120 dB.

What do bees do with their dead?

Honeybees remove diseased or dead nestmates from the hive by picking them up and dragging them away. In densely packed hives, infection can spread like wildfire if corpses are not removed from the hive.
