　　When honey-bees have discovered a feeding place, they fly directly to it from the hive. After a short time a line of bees fly to and from the hive like a thin stream. Centuries ago, the word "'bee-line" was created and today the expression "to make a beeline for someone or something" means to go quickly along a straight course for somebody or something.

　　For his lifetime's work in studying the communication of animals, including honey-bees, Professor Karl von Frisch was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1973, which he shared with two other scientists. He died in 1982.
