Mysteries Of Bee-keeping Explained
When bees are taken beyond their knowledge of country, some two miles
or more, the case seems to be somewhat different, but not always

perhaps get a few feet before strange objects warn them of the fact.
When they return, the immediate vicinity is strange, and they often
enter their neighbors' domicil.
