How Honey Is Made.

To most casual observers the life Of
the bee consists principally in fitting
from flower to flower, gathering in
the sweets of each. This is only
routine of the ioraging life Of the In
sect. The real romance of it's being
lies in the method of its work and in
its home life.
When bee alights upon a flower,
it sticks its head as far into the open.
ing or cup as possible. Then, by
means of spoonhke formation at the
end of its tongue, it sips up the juices.
The nectar thus gathered is swal-
lowed, passing into honey sac above
the stomach. As it goes down the
little throat canal it is mixed with
fluids from the glands, which convert
it into honey.
The honey sac in the bee corre-
spends with the crop Of birds. 1t is
about one sixth of an inch in depth
and one ninth of an inch in diameter,
holding, when full, about third OF
an ordinary drop.
Sometimes during its working hours
the little laborer becomes hungry. It
has then only to open valve at the
bottom of this sac, when the honey al.
ready gathered flows into the stomach
and becomes food.
If strictly bent, however, upon FL
ling the open cells in the honeycomb
at home, the bee retains the gathered
Juice in the sac. Returning TO the
hive, it inserts its head into a cell,
contracts, by muscular movement, the
honey sac and discharges its contents
into the receptacle. Others follow,
one by one. until the cell is filed,
when it ia covered by wax cap. and
the bees turn their attention to other
cells.
So the bee is actually enabled TO
enjoy eating the same honey twice
first, when it takes the nectar from
the flower, and again later, when it
consumes it from the comb.
The home of the bee is the hive.
This may be in some well.arranged
apiary or in the top Of forest tree.
In the tree the bee works for itself
and its family alone; in the apiary it
is laboring for commerce and the
material profit Of men.
In former times, bees that were In
cluded in the domestic list had cur
ious, dome-shaped habitations that
have been familiar in school-book IL
lustrations for generations.
Nowadays. those destined for COM
mercial activities. dwell in regular
apartment houses, with Gliding doors.
Instead Of waiting until the whole
seasons supply Of honey has accumu-
lated, the modern bee-keeper, as soon
as be 6uds the honeycombs filed,
draws them o1t and substitutes empty
ones. In this way the hives are rob.
bed as quickly and Systematically as
any modern bank might be by trusted
employees.
