Question

How do bees produce buzzing sounds? Explain in detail.

Answer 1

The bees do not have voice-boxes. Still, they produce sound. This happens by the vibrations produced by the quick movement of their wings.

The vibrations produced by the wings of the bee creates a region of compression and refraction in the surroundings. And these compressions and rarefactions travel through air and the vibrations reach our ear.

Further the eardrums in our ears vibrate and these vibrations are amplified by our inner ear. Further these vibrations are converted to the electrical signals by the cochlea. The electrical signals are perceived as sound by our brain.
