Great. indeed. is the amount Of work
which a busy bee will do in a day.
Every head OF clover consists OF about
60 flower tubes, each OF which contains
a very small quantity OF sugar. Bees
VIII often visit hundred different
heads OF clover before retiring to the
hive and In order to obtain the sugar
necessary for a load must, therefore,
thrust their tongues into about G,OOO
different flowers. A bee will make 20
trips a day when the clover patch is
convenient TO the hive. and thus will
draw the sugar from 10000 different
flowers In the course OF 4 single days
work.
