Extract

The manner in which bees and wasps repeatedly find their way back to their nests or to certain other places has been a source of wonderment to many and the subject of serious investigations upon the part of but few. The justly illustrious Fabre in considering the homing of many insects was led to believe that wasps and bees found they way back and forth from the nest by a special sense.
