BEES HAVE DIRECTIVE SENSE
They Can Fly for Two Miles From
Hive and Are Then Able to Return
After Gathering Honey.

How doth the little busy bee know
where to go? CASTOR BONNER OF
Paris seems to have proved that bees
possess special directive sense like
carrier pigeons. They can fly for two
miles from the hive and are then able
to return after gathering their supply
OF honey. Langstroth and others be-
lieve that vision comes into play and
that bees can see for great distance
and can also note objects on the way
so as to ind their path.
Others, with Dadent. believe that
bees are guided by a sense of smell.
and that they can smell flowers at
distance of one and half miles. But
BONNER finds that neither sight nor
smell Is necessary to the bees. He
takes them over a mile from the hive
back to the hive when released.
When their eyes are covered 1t is the
same.
His experiments serve to show that
bees perceive doors only at short dis
tances When a needle dipped into
ether is brought near the head OF the
bee 1t shows signs of perceiving odor.
but not so when the needle is placed
back of him or near the other organs
Besides, when organs Of smell are re-
moved entirely there is no difference
AT 600 feet from the hive BONNER
places a supply Of strip and the bees
soon find 1t, proceeding from and to
the hive. These he marks green
Then he places q second set 20 feet
from the former Other bees are now
engaged in the movement to and from
this point, but there are not the green
marked individuals. He marks these
red. There are thus two distinct sets
of bees. And they can distinguish
two directions which form an acute
angle. Here seems to be special d.
receive sense. Other experiments con-
firm the theory.
