their own hands. By bodily exercise they 

 generate heat. By forming a close cluster 

 they conserve it. The bees on the outside 

 become a living wall, that confines the heat 

 produced by those who, within this pro- 

 tected hollow, work faithfully and steadily,, 

 waving wings and moving legs and abdo- 

 mens. The colder it gets, the harder they 

 work, even to the point of making the tem- 

 perature within the cluster rise as that out- 

 side falls. There is a constant interchange 

 of position, the bees on the outside coming, 

 in, while those from within work their way 

 out. 



To allow this continued motion, there 

 must be a constant consumption of ener- 

 gizing food. Few foods produce as much 

 energy as the honey stored by the bees in 

 summer for use' in the winter. How won- 

 derfully all the details co-ordinate!
