Wonderful Work of Bees.

Bees must, in order to collect pound of clover honey, deprive 62,oOo clover blossoms of their nectar. To do this the 62, ,0OO flowers must be visited by an aggregate of S,750,0 900 bees; or, in other words, to collect his pound of honey one bee must make 8,750, 900 trips from and to the hive. The enormous amount of work here involved precludes the idea of any one bee ever living long enough to gather more than fraction of a pound of nectarine sweets.
 As bees are known to fly for miles in quest of suitable fields of operation, it is clear that single ounce of honey rep resents millions of miles of travel. It is no wonder that these industrious little insects have earned the reputation of be- ing "busy" bees.-St Louis Republic.
