I then left off ohservins: ; but 



during the whole of this time no 



other bee had come to the comb. 



Oct. 9. I took a bee (No. 11) out of the hive and put her 

 to some honey ; she returned and kept on visiting it regu- 

 larly. 



Oct. 10. This bee came to the honey at 7.30 a.m., and went on 

 visiting it ; but I was not able to watch her continuously. During 

 these two days no other bee came to this honey. 



Oct. 11. No. 11 came to the honey 

 at 7.12 A.M., but did not alight ; 

 „ 7.18 she returned, and at 7.21 went back to the hive;
