Flight of the bumblebee — source of the title is music

A bit off-topic in a photography blog, but yesterday’s wallpaper was given a title of a pretty well-known piece of music: Rimsky-Kosakoff’s ‘Flight of the bumblebee’. Just checking on it, I read here that it belonged to an opera originally, but probably like most people, I only knew it as a short orchestral piece. It can be found on YouTube. And for nitpickers like me: the picture that goes with that video shows a honey bee, not a bumblebee.
