Srila Sanatana Gosvami explains that Lord Krishna would joke with His friends, saying, "Just look, this peacock does not know how to dance properly," whereupon the Lord would vigorously imitate the peacock's dancing, causing great laughter among His friends. The bees in Vrindavana would drink the sap of the forest flowers, and the combination of this nectar and the association of Sri Krishna made them mad with intoxication. Thus they closed their eyes in ecstasy and expressed their satisfaction by humming. And this humming was also expertly imitated by the Lord.
