A German entomologist, Landnis, slates that, according to the pitch of their hum, the bees' flight must at times be equal to 4411 vibrations in a sec- ond, Imt he noticed that this speed could not be kept up with- out fatigue. It is well known that the more rapid the vilira- tions, the higher the pitch. 63. DiOESTixG Apparatus. —The honey obtained from the blossoms, after mixing with the saliva (41), and passing.
