17、hool year. Boys and girls have nearly two months holiday before them as they leave school by train and car to return home to their fathers and mothers.5The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children.

Flowers act as the insects air-traffic controllers. And new research shows bees prefer flowers that arent too f
24、lashy.Flowers give bees clues about how much a plant can offer. Those clues can be in the color of petals, in the type, in the smell or even in the electrical charge. All of these characteristics send signals to the bees, telling them whether to land or not, among which the colors play the most sign
25、ificant role. The insects keep track of the color of the flowers that are especially rich in nectar. They then visit more flowers of that color.However, color cant guarantee bees a good meal. It may change depending on the angle at which sunlight hits its petals. A yellow follower, for example, may
26、look somewhat blue from one angle and red from another. Beverley Glover studies plants at the University of Cambridge in England. Glover and her colleagues showed that even when the color of petals looks similar, bees behave differently in searching for nectar. They started to guess that the strengt
