I always talk to my girls... Bees can't hear per se, but they feel vibrations so maybe it gets through to them. I had 3 hives die this winter, so am starting 2 more. In the second photo, the queen has a blue dot on her back for easy identification amongst the crowd. The impression I get is that there was a lot of winter loss this year. I'm just doing it for fun and some honey, and it's good for the gardens!
