Dunham kept silent as they pursued their measured walk, and the judge's desire forced the question. "Well, and how do you find Miss Lacey, now you've had a near view?" "Oh Miss Lacey. Yes. Brisk and busy as a little bumblebee. The round peg in the round hole, as you might say." "H'm," returned the judge. "I'm interested to know how she strikes a man of your sort."
Though I have never seen an insect at work upon it in its haunt, the whole form of the opening of the flower would seem to imply a bee, particularly a bumblebee. If we insert the point of a lead-pencil into this opening, thus imitating the entrance of a bee, its bevelled surface comes in contact with the viscid discs by the rupture of a veil of membrane, which has hitherto protected them.
And I will suggest that we start for the stone wall right now, for there's no time like the present, you know." Even Buster Bumblebee approved of Mr. Chippy's retort. And with that everybody started pell-mell for the stone wall. DADDY LONGLEGS was taken entirely by surprise. It was rather early in the morning.
And often I'd rather sleep." "Will they keep this racket up all summer?" Chirpy inquired. "On all pleasant days!" Buster Bumblebee said. "Then," said Chirpy Cricket, "I'll have to move to a quieter neighborhood. This humming every day would soon drive me frantic." "I don't blame you," Buster Bumblebee told him. "I've often felt that way myself." Chirpy Cricket preferred the dark to the day.
Ladybug "guests should always wait for an invitation." "Have you had one?" Buster Bumblebee asked her. Mrs. Ladybug did not answer his question. Most people thought Buster Bumblebee a stupid fellow. Many people paid little heed to him. Yet strange to say, he often hit the nail on the head, so to speak. And this time he made Mrs. Ladybug somewhat uncomfortable.
Sometimes I can hear the harp alone in you, and then I like you; but when the bagpipe begins, you are worse than a big bumblebee with a bad cold." "I know it," said John sorrowfully. "My only hope is that the harp will outlast the bee." "At least that was a chord finely struck," said the parson warmly. After another silence he went on. "Martin Luther he was a cathedral organ. And so it goes.
But Buster did want to tell Jimmy Rabbit that he had been mistaken about the raising bee. Jimmy Rabbit knew so much he was always explaining things to people with such a knowing air that Buster Bumblebee thought it would do Jimmy a world of good to understand that for once he was wrong. If Buster had only visited the garden earlier in the morning he would have found Jimmy Rabbit easily enough.
Buster Bumblebee had promised to come to the party. And Daddy wanted to be present when the two cousins, Buster Bumblebee and Joseph Bumble, met with Betsy Butterfly right there to watch them. IT happened just as Chirpy Cricket had expected. Betsy Butterfly arrived at the party with her admirer, Joseph Bumble, buzzing close behind her.
One summer I made it a point to collect bumblebee honey, and I must have gathered a couple of pounds. I found it very palatable, though the combs were often infested with parasites. The small red-banded bumblebees that lived in large colonies in holes in the ground afforded me the largest yields. A large bee, with a broad light-yellow band, was the ugliest customer to deal with.
"You're certainly no gentleman for you just referred to yourself as a lady not two minutes ago. And neither can you be anybody's son, I should think." "I mean I'm a queen's daughter though maybe you didn't know it," the trumpeter replied. And Buster Bumblebee answered in a dazed fashion that he had had no idea she was of royal blood, like himself. "It's true," the trumpeter assured him.
