Not only do they tell time, but they understand unique time signatures, like the ones found in jazz.

They like jazz.

In: Bee jazz

I bet they don't like disco snails.

Disco what?

Disco snails, they're leaving silver trails

As much as I'd love for this to be true, sadly... it's probably not. But this one guy seems to think they like flute music in the 200-500KHz range. I Did a Thing seems to concur .
