Bees Many Enemies

Bees are exposed to many hardships
and dangers. Winds and storms must
be faced. Spiders lie in wait for them
and kill them. Once, a nature lover
came upon a bee, beneath leaf. 1t
did not move, although 1t was laden
with pollen which 1t must have taken
from some flower. On closer exami-
nation the nature lover saw that a
huge spider had the bee by the throat
and was holding 1t till quite sure OF
its death.-Grit.
