He would blow this, then spank the rising fish with a glass rod. Soon they learned the meaning of the new whistle, would cower at bottom when it was blown, but still come...
...Parker said, "The German scientist is interested chiefly in the habits of insects, and has recently demonstrated conclusively that bees and similar insects possess a distinct sense of color, with which they distinguish the various flowers.

...lecture Professor Frisch will also describe and illustrate with moving pictures his discovery of a kind of primitive language among these insects. When a foraging bee returns from the field after discovering an unusually rich source of honey, it performs a peculiar dance which excites the other bees to seek the new source of food...
