Have you ever watched a swarm or hive of bees just. before a rain? Do it sometime and you will. if you listen, hear a droning hum inside and see bees from every direction hustling home with their precious burden and see never a one going away. How do they know?

Study of Botany Maybe a lot of folks never study botany, a‘ study of the most. wonder- ful and beautiful of nature’s crea- tions. but any of our farm folk must. surely have noticed the com- ical little freaks of flowers, plants and leaves indulge in before a storm. They are just like a crowd of people in the city streets and a storm coming up. All are conscious of the impending and each and every one acting in his or her own peculiar way. So, too, do the little flowers. The tender leaves and graceful plants each in their own way prepare for the worst. You’ve noticed. haven’t youytho swallows’ low flight just preceding a‘ rain storm? How they skim along the new mown hay, just a few inches above. It’s a sure sign of rain and a warning to hustle in the hay. Dogs, too, will, tell you a storm is coming. How they will dig in the earth and root and roll and frisk and act silly. And sheep fairlx snap oil the grass prior to 3 Iain.
