The bee is always in a hurry. She flies from flower to flower as fast as
she can.
[Illustration: [Flower]]
She sees the flowers far off and comes straight to them, choosing the
brightest. She has learned that the bright flowers hold much honey and
often have guides to the nectary, so that she does not have to hunt
about, but, alighting on a flower, follows the bright guide. Sometimes
it is a spot in front of the nectary and sometimes a line leading to it.
It leads her at once by the shortest path to the nectar, and since she
is in such haste, the nectar guides are her good friends, helping her to
save time.
