Zom aud the Bees. 193

“But I still like tadpoles the best,” answered
Tom. |

“ Now,’ said Archie’s grandpapa, “you’ve
looked long enough. It’s rude to stand star-
ing like this—you must come in and taste
their honey. Grandmamma has got some in
a pot ready for you. Come along !”

They went back to the house, meeting
a good many more bees seeking for their
materials. Grandmamma took them into the
dining-room, where there was not only a pot
of honey, but bread and butter to eat with it,
and milk to drink with it. She spread them
each a piece of bread. |

“Ts it good ?” she asked, when she gave it
them.

“Very,” said Tom. ‘“ ‘The bees have made
mine beautifully. It is as sweet as sugar,
and has a delicious taste unlike anything
else.” |

“T think,” said Archie, “that the bee that
made mine got his materials out of mignonette
—mignonette or wall-flower, I don’t know

which.”
