Toe SiGRY OF 4HE see 
HIS is what happened. And it is a 
true story. 
One morning last May a bee set out among the 
flowers on a honey hunt. 3 
Perhaps it would be more true to say that the bee 
set out to hunt for the sweet stuff of which honey is 
made; for while this sweet stuff is still in the flower 
cup it is not honey, any more than the wheat growing 
in ‘the field is bread. The wheat becomes bread later, 
after it has been cut and gathered and threshed and 
ground, and brought into the kitchen and there changed 
into. bread; and the sweet stuff becomes honey only 
after the bees have carried it home and worked it. 
As the bee left home this particular morning, it made 
up its mind that it would devote itself to the apple 
blossoms; for did you know that when a bee goes 
flower visiting, usually it gives all its attention to one 
kind of flower till it has finished that special round 
of visits?
