Not the Bees Piano 🐝 🎹

A single-file playable piano. A big round Nicolas Cage "NOT THE BEES!" face sits in the middle — now framed as a bee, with antennae rising off the top and pale wings tucked behind the sides — and a keyboard runs along the bottom. Tap a key and the face replays while a pitch-shifted "NOT THE BEES!" sounds at that note.

Built as a single self-contained HTML file: the embedded clip is the Not-the-Bees clip (VP9 + Opus, 240×240), a decorative bee SVG (antennae + wings) was layered around the round face, and the title became Not the Bees Piano 🐝 🎹.

How to Play

1. Tap any key — the face replays and shouts at that note.
2. White and black keys span one octave (C → C).
3. ◀ / ▶ shift the keyboard down/up an octave.
4. Drag across the keys for a glissando; press several for chords (polyphonic).
5. On a computer: A W S E D F T G Y H U J K, octave shift with ← / →.

Notes

• Each key press flashes a translucent note-colour tint over the face.
• No background music — the only sound is the pitched note you trigger.
• Built from the Not-the-Bees clip in notbees_clip.webm.
