One of my favorite late summer sports when I was a kid was trying to squeeze and kill bumblebees when they collected nectar in the tube like flowers of my patents hosta plants. Wasps and bumblebees provided lots of entertainment.

I’m not sure about bumblebees, however honey bees have the ability to “dis-locate” or un-hinge their wings (internally) and they vibrate in the hive to generate heat. That is what you are hearing. How big is the birdhouse?
