Has anyone done any experiments in playing music to bees?

When I had hens I used to play them Mozart at certain times, it
*might* have helped them settle when new to a run and when moulting.

Also *many* years ago I took part in an experiment conducted by
Q.U.B. We were divided into groups and studied whilst listening to
different genre of music, afterwards we were tested on what we
studied. The Mozart group came out miles ahead.

But has anyone tried playing music to the bees?

I might this season. Just to see what happens. In one hive only.

I'll put a cd player playing Mozart into a roof with a
headphone/speaker on a coverboard. I have already found out that a
certain cd player I have will play non-stop on repeat for 4 days, so
I won't have to be into the hive to change the batteries too often.

Any thoughts - other than I'm totally daft!!
