While recording chimps in Jane Goodall's camp (Gombe), Ruth Happel
and I came across
a tree loaded with African bees. Ruth immediately realized that they
were in a "safe" mode and not aggressive at that moment. With
assurances from Ruth, I clipped a pair of ECM55s to closely spaced
branches of the tree while the little suckers buzzed in the African sun.
I recorded them for about 20 minutes before they looked as if they
might swarm. A short sample can be found in the group files under
killer bees or http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/cKSjRzO3D-
