There is only one sound on the frame...so I am not really sure...But I got a second frame as well...
I haven't tried them on #1517 either. I wanna clean #563 up, convert the bee tapes to one sound so I´ll be able free up 5 track spaces for more sounds...
There is actually one spot on Epilog where we wanted a bees swarm but I think we did it with a Mellotron Oboe cluster instead...

I heard about this tron in 1992 for the first time when Johan from Änglagård was searching for a Mellotron-. He had heard that there was one in a studio in Roslagen and started calling every studio in roslagen...He called studio largen and he found Roger Skogh who had helped Gaby to record the bees....
He and Johan started talking and we ended up recording two albums there...but still no signs of the bee tron...
In June I was showing my new tron sounds to some people and one of the girls said..." We have a tron at my school but it is quite useless...it only has bees in it...."
I made some phonecalls...

Still, think what the Änglagård albums would've sounded like if you'd only had bee tapes.
Looking forward to your first project with the new tapes. :-) Out of interest, were they done using the 1/4" conversion kit, or are there three tracks per frame? Even more bees...
