HitTestObject works for one mc but not for the other

Question

Hi - I have given instance names to two movieclips for "bee" and "energy". When I sling the "ball" up and it hits the bee all the code executes but when I sling and hit the energy nothing happens. Thanks for any help.
function onMyEnterFrame(evt:Event):void
                              bee.x +=1;
                    if (bee.hitTestObject(energy))
                            trace("energy");
                            //beeHit=true;
                            energy.visible = false;
                            power.x = energy.x
                            power.y = energy.y
                            this.addChild(power);
                    if (bee.hitTestObject(ball) && beeHit==false)
                            trace("gotcha");
                            beeHit=true;
                            bee.visible = false;
                            pop_mc.x = bee.x
                            pop_mc.y = bee.y
                            this.addChild(pop_mc);

You might be experienciung some confusion with your names in the coding.  I don't see anywhere where ball is checked for a hitTest with energy... the first conditional tests if bee hits energy, not ball.
