CD mistaken, in Origin, p. 73, in saying that only humble-bees visit red clover.
Thanks CH for correction of blunder in Origin about hive-bees sucking clover: "a greater kindness than a new fact".
Has modified the statements about bees visiting clover for honey in 3d ed. of Origin. Can correspondent find out if clover in Lowestoft district was a second crop?
