Birds + Bee Stings is the second album by garage rock side project The Operation M.D., and is the follow-up to their first album We Have an Emergency. It was released digitally on the band's own label Mouth to Mouth Music on June 29, 2010, and was later re-released as a physical CD release in Canada on November 30, 2010.
The band started recording the album on September 15, 2008, in Johnny Land Studios in Toronto, Ontario with sound engineer "Johnny", where they recorded the drums, bass and electric guitars, until mid-October 2008. Vocals and acoustic guitars were recorded by Todd Morse and Cone McCaslin independently in 5 days in January 2009, in an abandoned house they made into a home studio and called Boehlke's Bunkhouse, in Ajax, Ontario. In March, the band came back once again to Toronto, to finish recording some additional vocals at Cone's house. Recording of the album was officially finished in early April 2009. Mixing of the album began on May 5, 2009, with sound engineer Eric Ratz.
On June 25, 2009, the band posted a blog entry on their Myspace page announcing that the mixing is now done on the new album, with 11 songs that were mixed by Eric Ratz (Billy Talent, Cancer Bats) at Vespa Studios, Toronto, Ontario, and 1 song that was mixed by Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley. They have announced that the album will be going into mastering by Scott Lake at Metalworks Studios, Mississauga, Ontario. On June 26, 2009, the band announced on their Twitter page that the mastering was finished and the album is now done. On July 11, 2009, the band said that they are starting to shop the album to labels to see who wants to put it out.
