You mean, it wasn't bees?

I've got a hornets nest in my shed that I've been wanting to record for something like this! LOL

Dulci As audio engineer Eddie Kramer has explained: "The famous Whole Lotta Love mix, where everything is going bananas, is a combination of Jimmy and myself just flying around on a small console twiddling every knob known to man."

Another bit of trivia the majority of the lyrics for that song were from an old Willie Dixon tune "You need Love"

What gear did Led Zeppelin use to record the bees for the song Whole Lotta Love? Pink Floyd also recorded a bee for their Hey You song, but not an entire hive like Led Zeppelin did...

:hehe:
