Recordist's notes
벌집_bee hive...bees hiving in a log under a cliff-face on public land...of about 7 hives there is activity in only 1...there are also many other empty hives along this valley...contact mics hear a pulse inside the structure...condenser mics hear the avian activity in the valley as well as the noise from the nearby road and how it affects the hive...in a news article published this same week it is reported that 'Korean Beekeeping on the brink of collapse as 10 billion honeybees disappear'.
