To Bee or Not to Bee

I was a little stunned to find out that a common Slovenian relaxation method is listening to bees buzzing. They compare it to the sound of rain or waves. One out of every 200 Slovenians are bee keepers and apiaries are found most everywhere including schoolyards. Slovenia also launched the initiative for World Bee Day in 2014. They are also known for their unique beehive panels that date back to the 18th century as both a manner of story telling and an aid for the bees to find their hives. It's good to know someone is looking out for the bees but I wonder about both bee allergies and how something as annoying as buzzing can be found relaxing though we all have our own preferences.
