A Fact from Natural History.

Bees and birds cotfrt the society as man—that is, they seek the localities where fields and gardens abound, for they fare better when human industry extorts from the soil the products upon which they subsist A Maine bee culturist says it is the Arest thing in the world to find bees away from the settlements or from openings where flowers grow. It is in the small patches of forests they are oftenest found, and generally not far from the edge of the woods. It is the same with birds. There are no song birds in the northern Maine wilderness and scarcely anything that can be called bird life. Birds cluster around towns and villages.
