> Not only do bees have a very acute sense of smell, but they add to this faculty the remembrance of sensations. Here is an example: We had placed some honey on a window. Bees soon crowded upon it. Then the honey was taken away, and the outside shutters were closed and remained so the whole winter. When, in Spring, the shutters were opened again, the bees came back, although there was no honey on the window. No doubt, they remembered that they got honey there before. So, an interval of several months was not sufficient to efface the impression they had received. — Huber, "Nouvelles Observations sur les Abeilles," Geneve, 1814.
