It took courage to rob the second bee-tree; the first one was easy, for he didn't know what could h5fyen. What did happen was that his thick hide was punctured by He was probably jarreKI clear down to his callusedj "government" of an advanced order. However, he still has a long way to go; there are many questions yet to be an swered. There never was such a thing as a "tame bee," one that recognized a master, or an owner, or even one that constantly worked with them. The busy little bee is just as wild today as were its an- feet. He had no referencetelose Obseivation books to guiae nim; no previ ous experience to show him the errors he could make. Per haps it took the cave man a long time to lcSii how to get the pleasure without the pain. Robbery Obsession Bees were Qiaking honey from the nectar of flowers, dew and plant Juices, many eons before man found out what kept the little insects so busy. Then robbing bee trees became an obsession. Early many may have watched cer tain animals who, having ar rived on the earthly scene a little earlier, may have al ready discovered the bee sweet and helped themselves to the treasure. Since that time long ago, man has delved repeatedly in to the mystery of the bee hive. He has discovered there a complex organization, and a ,By devious means and clolfS ovjervation, man has pecked inside the beehive. He has watched the complicated pro cess of honey storing, the manufacture of the beeswax that forms receptacles to hold the honey and. of course, has profited by ihe experience. Too, he has attempted to ex plain the government of the hive. He has analyzed the resultant product, knows that honey is a food, predigested by the bees. He knows it is derived from the nectar of flowers and the juice of plants. The cave man didn't try to understand, any more than does the bear or the raccoon that are willing to get stung to secure honey. And we to day are still terribly short of a satisfactory explanation of exactly what It's all about. 4-H News Saddle Kings Medford Saddle Kings, a new 4-H horse club, met with their leader, Keith Johnson, Dec. 30, at his home, 1468 Columbus st.
