But he knew where to find the wild honey.

He had found some one day in a hollow tree.

He learned to track a bee home to its tree.

When he found a bee-tree he robbed the swarm.

Sometimes the bees stung him, but he was used to getting hurt.

THINGS TO DO

Watch the bees as they gather honey from the flowers.

What flowers do they visit?

Do all bees look alike? Do all bees do the same kind of work?

Draw a picture that will show how they work among the flowers.

See if you can find some wild honey.

“The bees stung him”

[XV.]
