Bertoli and his Bees Giacomo Bertoli of Varallo-Sesia keeps a watch and clock shop in the street. He is a cheery little old gentleman, though I do not see why I should call him old for I doubt his being so old as I am. He and I have been very good friends for years and he is always among the first to welcome me when I go to Varallo. He is one of the most famous bee-masters in Europe.
What a hecatomb of Bees must not a colony of these freebooters make for their personal consumption, not to mention the stored provisions! I recommend the Philanthus to the signal vengeance of our Bee-masters. Let us go no deeper into the first causes of the crime. Let us accept things as we know them for the moment, with their apparent or real atrocity.
The praise which is so commonly lavished upon the Ligurian race of our honey bees, which is indisposed to sting and such praise is still expressed at the peripatetic gatherings of German bee-masters is therefore from a practical point of view a false praise. Now we understand also why the stingless honey bees of South America collect little honey.
