Recordist's notes
Recorded by Benjamin Burns using a Zoom H1. I was sitting in the sunshine outside when I noticed the fuscia bush was humming with the sound of bees. I mounted the recorder on a large tripod and set it so the microphone was in the flowers surrounded by the bees. I don't remember exactly what time it was but it was as the sun was nearing the horizon.
