APIS MELLIFICA AND HER EYES. 



HERE comes a little brown lady whose 

 name is Apis Mellifica. She is mak- 

 ing her wings go so fast that they buzz 

 like a humming-top. Straight as an ar- 

 row she goes to that morning-glory flower. 

 All at once the buzzing stops; little 

 Miss Apis has landed feet down and 

 right side up on the nectar guide. 



Such great eyes as stare at you 

 when you look her full in the 

 face 1 No wonder she saw the_ 

 bright flower a long way 

 off and came^'^^straighj 

 to it. 



She has more 

 eye-space for her sizel
