Insect Language.

Insects, like birds and animals, have their calls, naturalists say. But the sounds they produce include the rubbing together of their limbs or wing covers and the vibration of their wings, so they cannot always be spoken of as voices. Flies and bees unudoubtedly mean something when they hum louder and louder. —Exchange.
