SWarming Bees Scout.

Swarms of bees are sometimes COM
PEELED to take refuge in very remark
able shelters. A peculiar and instruc-
tive instance was observed by the
writer in the spring of 1908. The
swarm flew over a large vineyard
which contained few buildings One
of these buildings was constructed of
hollow concrete blocks. The swarm
flew directly toward a small hole in
one of the blocks and disappeared in
the interior. No Doubt the swarm
had rested on tree or shrub on the
proceeding day and had sent out
scouts to seek home.-Scientific
