Can you control bees at your home? Perhaps you can with sound. Your parents may not like a swarm of bees in your garage but we have considered an experiment you might try. First be sure you are not allergic to bee stings. Then go get a plastic nylon crawling tube from Toys R' US or if you are on a budget go get a cheapo version from Wal-Mart made in China.

Next get some really big speakers to put on each end, that can blast sound louder than your buzzing bees as they swarm to try to escape. Warren states; "Bottom line here is a signal generator as the input to a stereo system, correct? Then get bees in a rip stop nylon play tunnel and blast both ends with each of two speakers from the stereo system”

My thoughts are this. Cut a hole in the play tunnel, stick a background on the other side. Make the sound directional and fly the insects thru it. Next put the directional sound on one end facing one way and point it, let them fly thru; did they avoid the sound or move towards it?

Then play with the dials and run thru the frequency bands, see what ha

ppens. Maybe they will choose not to be involved in your experiment. Good, you have a sound barrier wall and a way to steer them thru displeasure at a particular set of modulated vibrational acoustic sound. Good, you learned something. I say try it and keep screwing with it and see what anomalies you come up with?

After you are done you can see if the bees got highly pissed off or if you could control them with your sound device. Isn't that an interesting experiment to try in you home? Consider all this in 2006.
