HOW BEES FIND WAY TO HIVE.
Special Sense of oirection-Not Guid.
ed by Sight or odor.
The directive sense which il !.


The directive sense which is nos.
sessed by bees is the object of re.
searches made by NJ CASTOR BONNER.
OF Paris, and he seems TO prove that
bees possess a special sense like that
Of carrier pigeons.
Bees can fly for two miles from the
hive and are then able 10 return after
gathering their supply of honey. Lang.
Stroth and others suppose that vision
comes into play and that bees can see
for great distance and can also note
objects on the way so as to find their
path. Others, with Dadent. suppose
that the bees are guided by the sense
of smell and that they can smell flow.
ers at one and half miles.
The author makes experiments to
prove that bees can return to the hive
without using either sight or odor. AS
10 sight. he takes bees to distance OF
one or two miles from the hive in a
closed box. They always fly back 10
the hive when released. The same is
true when their eyes are covered. so
that sight is not essential. As regards
odor, experiments seem TO prove that
bees perceive odors at only short dis
tances. When IA needle dipped in
ether is brought near the heed of
the bee, it shows signs OF perceiving
The odOr but not so when the needle
is placed back of him or near other
organs
Besides, when the organs of smell
(antennae) are removed entirely the
bees will return to the hive. NJ. Bon.
nier makes the following experiment.
At 600 feet from the hive he places n
supply of syrup, and the bees soon
find it, proceeding to aud fro TO the
hive. Such bees he marks with n
green colored powder. He then places
a second supply of syrup at the same
distance from the hive but spaced at
twenty feet from the former. Other
bees are now engaged in the to and
fro movement to this point, but these
are not the same individuals as the
green marked bees, who are still
working on the first supply, and he
marks these in red
We thus have two distinct sets of
bees, and we see that they can distln |
guish two directions which form a |
very acute angle. We seem to have |
here a special directive sense which |
does not reside in the antennae but |
probably in the cerehroid gangia.
Other facts may be cited in evidence
of the directive sense of bees. --Scien-
tific American.
