Democratic Sentinel, Volume 18, Number 40, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 October 1894 — The Busy Bee. [ARTICLE]

The Busy Bee.

The bee works harder than most people would believe. There are about sixty flower tubes in every head of clover, and only a tiny morsel of honey in each. In older toget enough sugar for a load, the bee must visit about 6,000 different flowers, and each bee must make, on an average, twenty trips a day.
