Section 1: Very enjoyable listening! Just two edits:
Reduce beginning silence to .5-1 second.
4:35 "I then reinserted the combs and released the queen ..., andon the 23rd, drone brood, in the cells."

Remember to do the latter edit first to preserve the time stamp.
Best,
Christine

I have reduced the initial silence:

As for the silence after 4:35, I am at a loss to explain it. My local copies, including this new mp3, are not silent there: there is sound about worker brood on the 20th of June. Is it possible there is a software issue on my end? I am using Audacity 2.4.2 to encode the mp3.

I just remembered I downloaded the first-submitted mp3 from the server to my iphone SE. It’s background-noisier than I thought, but there is no 4:35 silence on this device at that timestamp.

Sorry my bad it was a repeat of that text at that timestamp.

Wow.. how the heck did I miss that?

(Why the discrepancy in duration? I made a typo in the first submission. What a pattern!)
