Yesterday I met beekeeper Elín Siggeirsdóttír, walked through the forest on her land, met her ducks & chickens! Her bees make incredibly yummy buttery honey. I set Petri dishes out by the hives (wild yeast!), collected a dead bee & was shown good vs poorly designed (though architecturally stunning!) hive sections. Spent the entire afternoon talking about bees & the environment. Elín allowed me to set an Aquarian audio contact mic and bio-sonification module onto the hives to record the bees. The bees are busily preparing for winter. There was a lot of work taking place within the hives. Strange sounds as well as the expected humming. Wish the bees luck over winter!
