Two flutes are tuning up if the conductor hears the beat frequency increasing are the flutes frequencies getting closer together or farther apart?

This means that the flutes are getting closer in tune. Because the pitches are closer together, the two slightly different frequencies produce smaller waves that become nearer and nearer to each other until they become one wave (in tune). The faster the frequency, the closer the pitches are to becoming the same pitch. Likewise, the more out of tune two flutes become, the slower the frequency difference between them will be. If they continue to move in opposite directions, the two flutes will simply be playing two different notes.
