I think i'll be the wrong answer but here goes ... bee's buzz due to vibrations of wings?
what goes zzub zzub?? a bee flying backwards
No, though this was thought to be the case until quite recently
It's actually air being forced out through the spiracles.
Bees have 14 breathing tubes in the sides of their bodies, called spiracles and each on has a valve to control the flow of air into the body (it's how they breathe). So they can make music in much the same way a trumpeter does.
Bluebottles and other flies make their buzzing in the same way, it's controlled air forced through their spiracles. .
