http://bbc.com/worklife/article/20200729-how-slovenians-use-bees-to-relax

> The country has a time-honoured tradition of using the sounds of bees buzzing to relax everyone from firefighters to school children, acting as an alleviant for anxiety and stress.

> In our high-stress, modern society, there’s luckily no shortage of relaxation aids: bedtime story audio apps, phone-free offices, or ASMR, hypnotic YouTube videos of people whispering or crinkling wrapping paper into a microphone to help people drift to sleep.

> But in Slovenia, there’s one relaxation technique that may actually shock some people, especially entomophobes: lying down in a room filled with cages of thousands of buzzing bees.

> Apitherapy is a branch of alternative medicine that uses honey bee products including honey, pollen, bee bread, propolis, royal jelly and bee venom.

edit: there are some vids online where you can listen to bees buzzing, not sure if it has some benefits to listen to such audio compared to listening to actual bees

I was recently in a lake and it had bees

I can confirm the sound in combination with the river, the birds and the wind yields therapeutic results
