SENSES OP BEES. 
cleft of their habitation, we hear some 
of them, by means of their wings, 
produce sharp and interrupted sounds, 
and then other workers are observed 
in agitation, and directing themselves 
from the side where the air has en¬ 
tered. 
These facts seem to correspond 
with the sound emitted by queens, in 
leading us to admit a sense in bees, 
analogous to hearing. Yet it must be 
remarked, that they receive no im¬ 
pression from sounds which are not 
relative to their instinct. Thus, they 
do not seem to be affected by thun¬ 
der, or the report of fire arms.
