After which she came no more that day. With the one 
exception above mentioned, during the whole time no 
other bee came to the honey. I might also mention 
that I had put out six similar flower-pots in a row, and 
that this seemed to puzzle the bee a good deal; she 
frequently buzzed about before them, and flew from one 
to the other before entering. When she went in, she 
generally stood still just inside the entrance for about. 
thirty seconds, buzzing loudly with her wings. I 
thought at first whether this could be intended as a 
sort of gong to summon other bees to the feast; but 
though several were flying about, at any rate none came. 
The following day (August 25) she came at 6.51, and 
had made nine journeys up to 8.41, when I left off 
watvhing. During this time no other bee came.
