Bombus, the Bumble-Bee. 177 
watch the bees out of doors and in your 
room as much as you please without the 
slightest danger. 
You can keep bees in the house and 
feed them on different kinds of flowers. 
They have to learn how to get the nectar 
from a new kind of flower. They will 
try and try until they have found the 
right opening. 
When once they have learned their way 
into a flower, they can usually go at once to 
the nectar in another flower of the same 
kind. 
You see, they experiment until they find 
out what to do, and then they remember.
