The six little Bunkers, never having been at Farmer Joel's before and / not knowing much about bees, did not understand just what was going to / happen. In a general way the Bunker children knew that bees made honey, / but how they did it, how the insects lived in hives, with a queen bee / who ruled over her subjects almost like a real queen-of all this the / six little Bunkers knew nothing.
"What's that thing he's got on his head? " asked Violet, pointing to / the mosquito netting veil that was draped over Farmer Joel's hat. "And / what's that tin funnel full of smoke he carries? " For the machine in / the farmer's hand was like a kitchen funnel, turned on one side, and / from the small end poured a cloud of white smoke.
