SIR JOHN LUBBOCK ON ANTS, BEES, AND WASPS. 499 



up a bee from one of my hives; at 11.40 she returned, to houey 

 which 1 had put on a slip of glass on green paper. 

 And again 



This time she lost her way in the room. 



This time she got stuck in the honey, and 

 had to clean her. 



I now put red paper instead of the green, 

 and put the green paper with a similar 

 quantity of honey on it a foot off. 



2.51 to the honey on green paper. 1 then gently 

 moved the green paper with the bee on 

 it, back to the old spot. When the 

 bee had gone, I put yellow paper where 

 the green had been, and put the green 

 again a foot off. 



3. to the honey on the yellow paper. I dis- 

 turbed the bee, and she at once flew to 

 the honey on the green paper ; when 

 she had gone, I put orange paper in 

 the old place, and put the green paper 

 about a foot off. 



3.10 to the honey on the green paper. I again 

 gently moved the paper, with the bee 

 on it, to the usual place ; and when the 

 bee had gone, put white paper in the 

 old place, and put the green a foot off. 



3.20 to the honey on the green paper. I again 

 gently moved the green paper, with the 

 bee on it, to the old place ; and when 

 she had gone, replaced it by blue paper, 

 putting the green a foot off. 



3.30 to the honey on the green paper. I again re- 

 peated the same thing, putting yellow 

 instead of blue.
