The Bee Garden 
When the honeybee visits the garden she 
is intent only on finding food for her family. 
In the opening flower she finds her every 
need supplied. With the nectar and pollen 
she feeds the multitude of growing larvae. 
They also provide the raw material from 
which she makes the wax to build the combs 
in which to store the food and rear the brood. 
She has no thought of the service she 
renders in the distribution of the precious 
pollen grains which insures the setting of 
seed of so many fruits and flowers. Uncount- 
ed millions of wealth come to the human 
race as a result of this unconscious activity. 
There is a growing interest on the part of 
many gardeners in the plant and insect re- 
lationship which leads them to select plants 
for the specific reason that they are attrac- °¢ 
tive to insects. The bee garden first became } 
popular in Europe but it finds many who } 
enjoy its pleasures in this country. The 4 
greater the variety of flowers offering a rich 
yield of nectar the greater the variety of in- ¢ 
sect visitors. As a means of quiet enjoyment 3 
er the relaxation of tense nezves the bee t 
garden provides an ideal outlet. é
