To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They are therefore in the way, and a very useless burden in the MORE ABOUT WHAT THE BEES DO. 101 hive, eating a great deal of the food .which is wanted for winter supply. The workers, therefore, now get rid of them, — drive them out of the hive, and leave them to starve.
' With terror wild.
The father flies his unrelenting child.
Far from the shelter of their native comb, From flow'r to flow'r the trembling outcasts roam, To wasps and feather'd foes an easy prey.
Or pine, 'mid useless sweets, t...he ling'ring hours away.' EV.ANS.
If the drones resist, the workers may be seen to seize them in the most determined manner, and with- out scruple to bite and gnaw their wings at the root, or wound them elsewhere ; so that, when cast out, they cannot return, but are left helpless on the ground and soon perish from cold or wet. Resistance is useless for — ' All, with united force, combine to drive The lazy drones from the laborious hive.' Virgil.
And is there cruelty in all this ? Shall we blame the bees who thus destroy their companions whom they have reared with tender care } These are ques- tions which we can hardly help asking ; but, when we consider what striking proofs of wisdom we have on all sides, and how every creature of God is marvel- lously made and wonderfully provided for, and that nothing is done without good and sufficient reason, we cannot doubt but that there is good cause for the manner of death of the poor drone, as there is also for his apparent idleness.
