Beekeeper Bioni transforms hive noises into electronic music.

Operating under the name Bioni, a beekeeper and musician captures sounds from his hives and converts them into electronic music. This initiative merges his passion for music, ecology, and bees. Bioni notes that queen bees emit higher-pitched sounds, worker bees produce mid-range tones, and drones create lower frequencies, providing diverse material for his compositions.

Bioni performs in a vintage beekeeping suit, which he believes shifts focus from his identity to the sounds themselves. Years of recording have allowed him to build a library of natural sounds, forming the basis for music that reflects the rhythms and frequencies of various bees. He incorporates sounds from bees, hive activities, and even honey, processing them into experimental electronic tracks.
