Abstract
IN NATURE, vol. xii. p. 527, it is stated that two nests of English humble-bees have been sent out to New Zealand, and that they are specially desired there for the purpose of fertilising the common clover. I suppose the red clover is meant, as the white is fertilised by the hive-bee, and the wonderful rapidity with which it has spread over the Australian colonies proves that it does not require any further assistance.
