How Buzzing is produced
Really you must have wondered sometimes why in the world do these bees buzz at how they make that sound.
The buzzing sound is mainly caused by the rapid flapping of the wing. A honey bee has two pairs of wings that can beat 250 times/second.
The wings are smaller than the body but the frequency is enough to lift the bee off. The vibrations created by these bees is what we hear. The bigger a bee is, the slower its wings beat. Which means the lower the pitch of the buzzing will sound.

Buzz Pollination
Why do they Buzz
Buzzing play an important role in the pollination of plants When certain species of “buzz-pollinating" bees, such as bumblebees, visit a flower, (Note: Honey bees do not pollinate by this phenomena) the buzzing they produce causes the pollen to fall of the flower.
The pollen then attaches to the bee's body and is deposited on the next flower the bee stops to visit. This process is known as pollination.
During the years plants of fruits such as blueberries, tomatoes have evolved to help make the process easier for buzzing bees.
