Quotation from F. Mliller to show that bees " knew how to advise the 

 tpeen that something was as yet to be done, but knew not how to show her 

 where it had to be done"; bees do not show attachment or affection for one 

 another; their de\otion to their queen is of the most limited character; they 

 can distinguish t cents; experiments to determine whether the same bees 

 always act as sentinels; bees jiossibly recognize others of the same hive by 

 their scent, but not much importance need be attached to their recognition 

 of one another as an indication of intelligence; experiments to ascertain 

 whether the bees which collect honey also work in the hive, to determine 

 how well they can find their way about, to ascertain if they return to the 

 same jiart of the hive; bees as robbers of hives not their own : ability of 

 ants to recognize companions; their power of communication.
