To W. J. Beal 9 November 1874
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
Nov. 9th 74
Dear Sir,
I am much obliged to you for kindly calling my attention to your paper.1 I will try when in London to see a copy, for I did not take in the A. Naturalist, so long ago.2 It is a curious fact that the Humbles did not use the holes whilst the Hive-bees did so.—3
Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | C. Darwin
Footnotes
Summary
Thanks WJB for his reference [see 9691]. Is curious fact that the humble bees did not use the pollen, but the hive bees did.
