A professor has given a colony of honey bees a cello in which to set up their hive.

Martin Bencsik, from Nottingham Trent University, is researching the vibrations and sounds made by the bees using the instrument in his West Bridgford garden.

This is a great story. I love seeing bees in something that is not a standard hive
