Honeybee Still Wild After thousands of years of association with man science finds that the honeybee is unchanged. All of the other wild creatures which man has adopted to setve him have yielded to ! his influence and changed to such an extent that many of them would be almost utterly helpless if turned back into their natural element where they were required to shift for themselves. Not so with the bee, however. No matter how long a swarm had been kept in a man-made hive they would hunt out a hollow tree or some such suitable spot and live quite as well as ' under man's guiding hand.?The Pathfinder. I J.
