Improving Bee Moral with the use of an Arduino board and a Bluetooth speaker

So, I am a beekeeper and I'm trying to increase my bees productivity by introducing it to the art of classical music. Basically (and I know this looks like a lot) I'm trying to build multi-solar-powered, power banks, which power a raspberry pi (or Arduino), that's coded to transmit multiple classical music playlists (depending on the light level), onto a custom built Bluetooth speaker that's also powered by solar-power, which would also include a more heavy duty power bank bc its a speaker which would use lots more power
Though I am struggling with my research to find a computing board that would satisfy all of my bee keeping needs. it's also going to be outdoors, so it would need to be cased and I would have to build an enclosure for it. I'd hope to be able to run it continuously( even at night) so I can play soft soothing classical music so my bees get the best sleep possible). Though, since recharging a battery constantly might ruin my rechargeable batteries, Maybe I could have the power bank(batteries) only kick on once there wasn't enough light for the solar panels to run the Arduino and speaker themselves. Though it seems like a design like that might make a terribly inconsistent bee dj machine so I really don't have a good workaround. I'm very new to Arduino, and researching everything I need for this project gets really confusing, as I am ignorant to electrical circuitry.

Interesting idea. It's old knowledge that music make cows produce more milk, pigs....

Split the project into smaller parts. Let the music be one part and the powering another project. Solve them one at the time.
Do You have any scientific facts telling which music does what to the bees? Else the result could be the opposite.

I don't have any scientific evidence yet! But once completed I'll be monitoring the affects, if any. Though bees are hardy and I'm sure it would either do nothing or increase productivity, but I am very doubtful that it would affect the bees negatively. What kind of Arduino would you recommend for storing data and transmitting said data via Bluetooth? I would also need it to be able to connect to a power bank and a light level sensor.
