Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

There are bees and flowers whose random meetings result in a curious phenomenon. On the single dahlias and gaillardinias of the garden, bees are often to be seen in a maudlin state and these bees are more frequently of the black and yellow banded kind. If you take such a bee off the gaillardia the insect will remain in your hand, indulging in quaint antics or simply trembling in every member. Presently, however, it will recover and fly off straight to another gaillardia flower and in a very short time is again in its former state of imbecility.-Exchange.
