A temperature of about 93 degrees Fahrenheit must be maintained in that part of the hive where the queen lays her eggs and where all the young bees are reared. This is a concentrated area near the center of the hive, spherical in shape, its size depending upon the population of the hive and the season of the year.

Some plants secrete nectar only a few hours a day, while other - plants may continue throughout the day; and, since bees wisely seek the richest source of nectar, they may suddenly desert one plant for another that proves more tempting The richness of this sparkling drop of nectar, which the blossom offers to the bee in exchange for the pollen from another blossom, causes the bee to accept the highest bidder. Although bees invariably effect pollination in the blossoms from which they obtain either nectar or pollen, the latter is so indispensable to the welfare of the colony that the bees are compelled to visit countless numbers of flowers which secrete little or no nectar but which do furnish them with pollen. Thus the bees pollinize numerous varieties of plants. ,, The worker bee is particularly adapted to gather pollen. Almost -- HOTEL BEN LOMOND Ogdens Finest . .

Many of the hairs are long, lacy, and branched; spikelike hairs even grow between the facets of its compound eyes. When a bee alights on a flower that has abundant pollen, the pollen grains become entangled in its numerous hairs, and in gathering a load to carry back to the hive, the bee brushes over the stigma of the blossom, inadvertently transferring to its sticky surface grains of pollen. For this act the blossom lives and offers its alluring perfume and enticing nectar. Pollen Stored in Cakes. Upon reaching the hive, the bee inserts its hind legs into a cell and pries off the two pellets of pollen. There a young bee, with its head, rams the pollen into a compact cake into the bottom of the jell. Pollen is not mixed with honey. It is stored in separate cells close to the brood nest, where it is readily available to the nurse bees.. The pollen furnishes the fat and protein in the diet of the honeybee, while the nectar supplies the carbohydrate. Early in the spring, when the alders and willows are putting forth their fuzzy catkins, the bees go forth to search for food so that the queen may start egg laying. From then on, progress depending upon the weather and the amount of food available, brood rearing continues at a constantly accelerated pace. Within a few weeks the hive becomes so populous that there is no more room where the queen can lay and no more space in which to store honey. With food available from myriads of flowers, but with no place to store it, the bees prepare to relieve the The time has come congestion. when some must go. The first indication that swarming may be imminent appears when thousands of bees cluster at the entrances, literally loafing. The hive boils over with bees. Inspection within reveals the presence of several pendulous peanut-shape- d queen cells, an almost infallible indication that the hegira is about to take place. Each queen cell holds a prospective heiress, possible successor to the old queen. flow the Bees Swarm. The reigning queen and her daughters do not wait until the heiress actually arrives, however, but on the first bright warm day after the queen cells are sealed a mighty commotion heralds the issuance of the swarm. This usually takes place from 10 to 12 oclock in the morning. Most of the bees that have attained flying age (and this includes virtually all the field bees) rush out of the hive, tumbling over one another in their eagerness to taste the thrills of the great adventure. Back and forth in front of the hive, in sharp straight flights, they take wing until thousands are in the air, the queen with them. Likely as not, this flying entanglement will shortly move toward some tree or fence post. A few bees settle, and then a few more, until within 10 to 15 minutes all have alighted in a tightly packed mass. Shortly after the swarm settles, scout bees fly in all directions to search for a new abode, or, being foreminded, they may have attended to this duty several' days before. If a place already has been located, the bees may take to the air again within a few minutes. Assuming a formation that looks like a hazy smoke ball 10 to 20 feet in diameter, the swarm gradually works its way through the tree tops and, clearing all obstructions, seems to float like an enormous soap bubble, making a bee line toward its new home. If the scouts fail to find a hollow tree or a cozy nook in someones attic, the bees will continue to hang at their first stopping place for several hours, or even for several days.
