10  IX,  40|         numerous, and cells for the drones they build if a superabundance
11  IX,  40|         they are of small bulk; the drones’ cells they build near by,
12  IX,  40|            mitys. Some say that the drones construct combs by themselves

24  IX,  40| comparatively smooth. They kill the drones also when in their work
25  IX,  40|          are confined for room; the drones, by the way, live in the
