A Japanese Quince bush full of bees - bees in the bush

One of the first days of spring, and the garden felt beautifully alive. It was a Sunday, and we were returning home from a wonderfully romantic Wedding. The sunny street was its usual quiet Sunday self, with the murmur of traffic from the nearby main road drifting over and mixing with the chatter of the birds in the trees in the gardens. As we unpacked the car, I noticed that many small bees were busily working at the pink flowers in a nearby quince bush. I remembered this is an annual sound for us, and I popped my little recorder down inside the foliage to capture the sound of this labour. You can hear along with their buzzing, the light hand of the wind rifling through the stiff branches, and the aeroplanes that constantly pass over this area, giving the days in our street their distinctive sense of time. There is also a bird perching in the winter flowering cherry blossom tree, whose song delights for the last portion of the recording.
