Intelligent Insects.

Bees can learn to tell the time of day as well as a clock. A gentleman lately noticed that a large number of bees were frequenting the flowers on his lawn, and every day when he came home to lunch put a lump of sugar on a brick in the garden for them. They soon learned the time when they might expect the sugar, and now. when he goes out at noon, he finds about a hundred bees sitting around waiting for their lunch.
