To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I was obliged to leave home on the following day ; but when I returned on the 30th I found that all the bees had deserted the poor queen, who seemed weak, helpless, and miserable. On the 31st the bees were coming to some honey at one of my windows, and I placed this poor queen close to them.
In alighting, several of them even touched her ; yet not one of her subjects took the slightest notice of her. The same queen, when afterwards placed in the hive, im- mediately attracted a nimiber of bees. ....
As regards the affection of bees for one another, it is no doubt true that when they have got any honey on them, they are always licked clean by the rest; but I am satisfied that this is for the sake of the honey rather than of the bee. On September 27, for instance, I tried with two bees : one had been drowned, the other was smeared with honey. The latter was soon licked clean ; of the former they took no notice whatever. I have, moreover, repeatedly placed dead bees by honey on which live ones were feeding, but the latter never took the slightest notice of the corpses.
