The child will be delighted to learn that the bees collect pollen as well as honey; that the honey bees and bumble-bees have baskets on their legs on purpose to carry it home; that they knead it up with honey and make it into what is known as bee-bread. We seldom see bee-bread these days, as patent hives furnish all the honey found in city stores and no bee-bread is sold.

There is always trouble in nature unless an equilibrium is kept up. Much as I dislike cats, I must admit that they have contributed largely toward the prosperity of an incipient empire." "When I was a boy," remarked Leonard, "I was cruel enough to catch bumble-bees and pull them apart for the sake of the sac of honey they carry." Alf hung his head, and looked very conscious.

Steal honey-bags for him from the bumble-bees, and with the wings of painted butterflies fan the moonbeams from his sleeping eyes." "I will," said one of the fairies, and all the others said, "I will." "Now, sit down with me," said the Queen to the clown, "and let me stroke your dear cheeks, and stick musk-roses in your smooth, sleek head, and kiss your fair large ears, my gentle joy."

"Oh, yes, I have they don't sting." Estelle laughed. "I thought that once. A boy in the village told me that bumble-bees have 'got no spears. And I believed him and tried to help one out of the window once. And I very soon found that he had got a spear." "That reminds me I must take a wasps' nest to-night," said her father. "I've not decided which way to take it yet.

"No, nor I ain't fought out any bumble-bees' nest since the time you got one up your pant leg and pretty near pounded yourself to death with a ball bat," said Sim. "Can you still run as fast as the time Wert Payley and I dared you to ride Malstead's bull?" "Where's Wert?" demanded Banks. They were shaking hands now, using all four of them. "Say, I've got to see him and Wim. Horn.

The method of procedure, which I shall describe more fully by-and-by, differed considerably from case to case, as these very large and strong spiders have sometimes to deal with mere tiny midges, and sometimes with extremely big and dangerous creatures, like bumble-bees, wasps, and even hornets.

'I don't know whether I am crazy or not They say so, and perhaps I am, when my head is full of bumble-bees. 'Oh h! Jerry gasped, drawing back from him. 'Can they get out? And will they sting? Arthur burst into a merry laugh, the first he had known since he came back to Shannondale. Jerry was doing him good.

Moreover, the defensive inlaying is slight; we see that the insect attaches no great importance to it and has every confidence in the stout wall of the home. The material of which the work is made at first suggests some rustic wax, much coarser than that of the Bumble-bees, or rather some tar of unknown origin.

Bumble-bees bustled busily about the closed lips of the red-rattle, and ripe gorse pods burst with little elastic explosions in the basking sunlight. When Alan reached the trysting-place, under a broad-armed oak, in a glade of the woodland, Herminia was there before him; a good woman always is, 'tis the prerogative of her affection.

Low as was the utterance, it caught Arthur's ear, and grasping her shoulder, he said: 'What was that? What did you say, and where did you learn it? His manner frightened her; perhaps the bumble-bees were coming out, and she drew back from him, forgetting entirely what she had said. 'It was a German word, he continued, 'and the accent is German, too; can you speak it.
