100 The Bee People. 
If you put a bee just caught and with 
her sac full of honey on a window-pane 
with a bee from the same hive that has 
had nothing to eat for an hour or two, 
you will see a pretty sight. The hungry 
bee will go to her newly arrived companion, 
and as soon as they have crossed antenne 
and discovered they 
x 4 are friends, the hun- 
gry ere will sree her tongue. Then 
the other will open her jaws and doubt- 
less proceed to force up the honey from 
the honey-sac to her mouth for the benefit 
of her hungry sister. 
The one that takes the sweets usually 
raises her wings slightly as though express- 
ing her pleasure and satisfaction at thus 
unexpectedly obtaining a meal. 
There is good reason for feeding the 
queen with “royal jelly,” as her food is called. 
The formation of eggs uses up a good 
deal of food material as well as a good 
deal of strength.
