Honeybee

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 799.9 Hz, 35 cents sharp of G5. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

Tap it to make it buzz its wings and lift off.

Honeybees live together in large colonies of tens of thousands, with one queen who lays the eggs. Worker bees fly from flower to flower drinking nectar and gathering pollen, and back at the hive they turn the nectar into honey. As they go, they carry pollen between flowers, which helps plants make fruit and seeds.

Tap it and its wings buzz in a blur as it lifts off, tilts and lands again. A honeybee's wings beat about 200 times a second: that is what makes the buzz.
