Here I was away for about two hours. 

 2.42 came to honey ; 2.46 away. 



This was the last visit that day. She made, there- 

 fore, thirty-eight visits drndng the time she was watched, 

 which was not quite eight hours. She was at work 

 from 6.55 to 6.15; and assuming that she was occupied 

 in the same manner during the three hours when she 

 was not watched as during the rest of the time, she 

 would have made over fifty visits to the honey dinring 

 the day. 



Wishing, however, to have a complete record of a 

 day's work, I watched her the following day without 

 intermission.
