Meanwhile Apis was traveling toward his hive. His little bee-brain
was filled with memories of the beautiful rosebush he had just visited.
He couldn’t wait to get back to his hive and do a clever dance
describing exactly where it was located, so that the other nectar-
gatherers could find it, too. So absorbed was he in this thought that
he bumbled right into the side of a tree. Half-stunned by the impact,
he sputtered and buzzed erratically, then fell unconscious into a large
clump of plants not on his normal rounds.
