Abstract

WITH reference to a letter which appeared in NATURE, vol. xi. p. 248, I may mention that on the 30th of August last nearly all the Snapdragon flowers I could find (including many unopened buds) had been bitten through by bees. I had been looking out for flowers in this stale a short time before (I think not more than a week), when I could find only two, and those looked as if they might have been accidentally injured. The quickness and thoroughness with which the work had been done was very striking.
