Tactile Sense Investigated.

During his experiments he also in
vestigated the tactile sense, or the
sense of touch of the honey bee, and
believes that with the organs for that
purpose the bee is enabled to mold in
uniform thickness the wall of all it's
cells. He also investigated the manner
In which bees eat liquid foods by capil-
larry attraction and by a pumping force
which they possess. Solid substances,
which they cannot eat at once, are dis
solved by the application of saliva. He
discovered that many solid substances,
which are not previously Smelled by
the bees, release doors through the
physical or chemical changes brought
about when they are dissolved by
saliva.
DR.. McIndoo and the few other scien-
lists who have fed insects foods con-
tanning undesirable substances have
observed that they refuse such foods
after eating more or less of them.
From this observation the other au-
thors have concluded that insects can
taste. although they have not ascer-
tanned whether they possess sense or
gans anatomically adapted for tasting.
nor have they considered the role
played by the sense of smell in these
responses.
The authors experiments during four
years convince him that the olfactory
sense of the bee is much keener than
that of man. Finally, he believes that
their olfactory sense is highly de-
veloped, and that it serves them as j
sense of smell and taste combined.
