 7   v,  21 |           vogue. Some affirm that bees neither copulate nor give

32 VIII,  14|           during a certain period bees never touch the food set
33 VIII,  27|         the bee never interferes. Bees suffer most when flowers
34  IX,  40 |         remove the combs; for the bees, when they are fumigated,

36  IX,  40 |          on the honey made by the bees. The drones, as a rule,
37  IX,  40 |         honey is produced and the bees soon die out.~Bees scramble

45  IX,  40 |           right through. The long bees build uneven combs, with
46  IX,  40 |          put anywhere; from these bees come inferior kings, a large
47  IX,  40 |         in very small quantities. Bees brood over the combs and
48  IX,  40 |           keep settling down, the bees restore the level surface,
49  IX,  40 |      damage the work of the other bees; if they are caught in the
50  IX,  40 |           the working-bees. These bees also kill without mercy
51  IX,  40 |           in the hive. The little bees fight vigorously with the
52  IX,  40 |     productive, but if the bigger bees get left mistresses of the
53  IX,  40 |          spoil the combs of other bees; if they are caught in the
54  IX,  40 |          which time all the other bees cluster around them. When
55  IX,  40 |    peculiar sound made by all the bees is heard for several days,
56  IX,  40 |       three days in advance a few bees are seen flying round the
57  IX,  40 |           Separate detachments of bees are told off for diverse

59  IX,  40 |           the production of young bees is discontinued only for
60  IX,  40 |          the grubs are grown, the bees put food beside them and
61  IX,  40 |          clear out, but the other bees from sheer laziness look
62  IX,  40 |          the ponds from which the bees take water; they destroy
63  IX,  40 |          the nests of bee-eaters. Bees have fear only of one another.
64  IX,  40 |        whatever they get hold of. Bees that sting die from their

67  IX,  40 |         they come flying out; the bees can in no way retaliate,
68  IX,  40 |          say that it is the young bees that act so from inexperience;
69  IX,  40 |        from inexperience; and the bees of the current year are
70  IX,  40 |           termed young. The young bees do not sting as the others
71  IX,  40 |        carried, as it is of young bees that they are composed.
72  IX,  40 |        the bee-keepers supply the bees with figs and sweet-tasting
73  IX,  40 |       articles of food. The elder bees do the indoor work, and
74  IX,  40 |        staying indoors; the young bees do the outer carrying, and
75  IX,  40 |           to kill them, the other bees came out and tried to beat
76  IX,  40 |      lassitude on the part of the bees and in malodorousness of
77  IX,  40 |       malodorousness of the hive. Bees feed on thyme; and the white
78  IX,  40 |           single comb. The little bees, as has been said, are more

80  IX,  40 |            are good-for-nothings.~Bees seem to take a pleasure
81  IX,  40 |     within it is loud, and if the bees make a flutter as they go
82  IX,  40 |           the population, for the bees work in a spiritless way
83  IX,  40 |          wasps are enemies to the bees. Bee-keepers entrap the
84  IX,  40 |          industry of the workers. Bees can tell the approach of
85  IX,  40 |   expecting bad weather. When the bees inside the hive hang clustering
86  IX,  40 |        bee-keepers sprinkle their bees with flour, and can distinguish
87  IX,  40 |         So much for the habits of bees.~

89  IX,  42 |        also kings or leaders like bees and wasps; and their leaders
90  IX,  42 |          to wasps or bee-kings to bees. The anthrena-king, like
91  IX,  42 |         wasps go off in swarms as bees do, but successive layers
92  IX,  42 |          combs. They do not, like bees, store up food, but pass
93  IX,  42 |         them all, In the hives of bees several kings are found
