- W2090924856 abstract "HAVE any of your readers noticed, or can any account for, a curious practice which I observed on several fine days this autumn among the humble-bees that frequented a bed of blue salvia, viz. that in piercing the calyx and upper end of the tube within it, they would invariably attack it on its right-hand side, i.e. the right side of the flower as it looks straight out from the stem. After having several times counted fifty or sixty such attacks in succession, I gathered a number of flowers at random and, carrying them indoors, requested my brother to lay each on its side, so as to show the hole uppermost; twenty-five out of twenty-six were without hesitation placed with the right side exposed, the remaining one was considered doubtful. The apparent rule of proceeding was this:—The bee alights on the under midrib or keel of the calyx, with her head towards the stem, then turning her head and fore feet slightly round to the right, inserts her proboscis just clear of the rib, the process being visible only to a person standing on that side of the flower. Whether the flower was on the north or south side of the bed, in shade or sunshine, made no difference, nor did it matter in which direction the bee was making her circuit round the bed. Where two flowers hung so close together as to touch, after piercing the right-hand one on its outer side, and satisfying herself that she could not conveniently push her way in between the two, she would fly off to another, losing the honey rather than attempt to reach it through the left side of the flower. This occurred repeatedly." @default.
