Ambrosia and Nectar. 



47 



ambrosia is the pollen of the flowers, — a 

 very precious ambrosia indeed. 



Miss Apis not only eats all she wants 

 when she visits the flowers, but she mixes 

 nectar and pollen together and carries i hem 

 away with her. 



She is able to do this, for she al- 

 ways carries baskets on purpose. 

 She never yet was known to go away 

 from home and forget to 

 take her pollen baskets.
