why Beea work at Dark.

Bees work at night in the hive and bnild

asked why they prefer TO work in the dark
Every one knows that honey is n liquid
without any solid sugar in 1t. After stand
ing it gradually assumes n crystalline ap-
pearance, or granulates and ultimately be-
comes a solid mass. 1t has been stated that
this change is due TO the same agent which
alters the molecular arrangements of the
iodine of silver on the excited coilodion
plate aud determines the formation OF
camphor and iodine crystals in bottles
Honey has been experimentailY incIOsed
in well-corked TASKS. some of which
were kept in perfect darkness. while
the others were exposed TO the light.
The result was that the portion exposed to
the light soon became crystalized, while
that kept In the dark remained unchanged.
Hence we see why the bees are so careful 10
obscure the glass windows which are placed
In their hives. The existence Of the young
depends on the Iiquidity Of The saecharine
food presented to them. and Ii light were
allowed access to this il would. In all prob
ability, prove fatal to the inmates Of the
