A honey bee's wings beat 11400 times per minute (180 beats a second) causing their buzz sound.

I think the answer should be:

Quote:

"The buzzing sound is heard when the bee makes the air vibrate in some way. It used to be thought that the movement of the wings caused the sound. However the bees can buzz even when the wings are at rest. So it is probably the vibration of the muscles in the thorax causing the thorax to vibrate that makes the buzzing sound."

From the website:

The wings of the bee make up less then one percent of the buzzing sound. The noise almost entirely comes from the bee breathing through its fourteen spiracles across its abdomen. This applies to all other buzzing insects, blue bottles, hornets ect.

How many decibels does a bee have?

The sound produced by a bee, particularly the buzzing of honeybees, typically ranges from about 60 to 100 decibels, depending on factors such as the species and the activity level of the bee. The buzzing sound is primarily generated by the rapid movement of their wings. While this sound can be quite loud when many bees are present, individual bees produce sound levels closer to the lower end of this range.
