CLEVERNESS OF BEES.
SHOWN BY INCIDENT
Tireless industry ;00 Little`:Colonies'
Mystified Their Owner—Farmer
Learned a l.essop •
A farmer possessed a lee? warms
of bees which he kt elf In whet,' are
called box-hlyee, Ieside thee& were
small bores whioh' would hold about'
two or tliree pounds of honey. each.
About eig:-t of, these were placed on
tire tee of the hive, and as` at dealt
one side of oat 'box was sof glass:
the peeper could easily look into the.
hive and see when the boxes were
filled with honey. The farther usually
chose to do , this 'early in the morn
ing, before the bees came out, to bo -
'gin the labors of,the da3', or at night
when tI1ey had finished them, Bees
do not :like. to have their .dwelling
places molested, andusually try to
sting the intruder;
', Stung For His Mistake
One day some friends were at the
farmer's house, and as they wanted
honey the farmer thought he would,
Venture to take it out in the after-
noon. Ho knew that some of the
boxeswere quite full. The hives stood:
a few rods from the house, and on
that side of the house were large
doors Ieading into the cellar, While
the boxes were partly of glass, the
bottom of each was made of little
slats so that the bees could go in
and out as they liked.
The farmer took out several boxes,
carried then' into the cellar, shut the
cellar door's nearly together and hur-
ried away. He put the boxes into
the cellar in order to allow any bees
which might be in them to fly out
and return to the hive. But in his
baste to avoid being stung the farmer
left the doors open too'•much, so that
the cellar was quite light, whereas it
should have been nearly, dark.
What Were They At ?
Tho bees were so excited and en-
raged that they'fiew in all 'directions,
attacking everyone who came intheir
way. When supper time came titers
were so many bees flying about the
cellar doors that no one cared to go
near them. -Early the next morning
the farmer looked out of the dining
room window and observed that the
air was still full of bees.
At about 10 o'clock he looked again
and not a bee could be seen. He went
down and brought up tete boxes. But
instead of being heavy with honey,
as they were the clay before when
taken from the hive, they were almost
as light as air, being lillecl only with
empty comb. The bees had worked
With e. will and had carried;all the
honey back to the hives.
