To access the cache, you must unlock the secrets of this location. Before jumping in, it’s probably a good idea to spend a few minutes exploring this magnificent building.  Remember to be very quiet!  You may ask others for directions, but you must find the answers on your own.
 
A: Ask Harriet Beecher Stowe to help you find the starting location for the pupal stage. Once there, count the members of the order Lepidoptera hanging from the ceiling (not including ones on signs).
 
B: Hopefully you have some trivia LODGED in your brain somewhere; it will help you to answer this riddle: If 3892 bees visit 14 million flowers, how many pounds of honey can they make?
 
C: Locate the only section of adult books that do not circulate. One of the items here has an insect on its spine. Turn to the final two and count the number of insects shown.
 
D: If you were searching for information about apiculture, Melvil Dewey would tell you to use these digits:  _38.1
 
Once you’ve found your answers, you’ll need the help of a keeper of knowledge to continue.  CHECK OUT the right spot, and ask a keeper for the cache.  Once the cache is in your hands, you will have everything you need to access the treasures within.  

And a big congratulations to boo2931 and nixant on the FTF!!!
