What reading level is The History of Insects book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
12 HONEY-BEE.
This is an extraordinary, curi- ous, and remarkably industrious little insect to which mankind are indebted for one of the most palatable and wholesome sweets which nature affords ; and which was one of the choice ar- ticles with which the promised land was said to abound.
In every hive of bees, there are three kinds: the queen, the drones and tlui laborers: of these last, there aro by far the great- 13 est number: and r\s cold weath- er approaches, they drive from the hives and d...estroy the drones that have not labored in summer and will not let them eat in win- ter. If bees are examined through a glass hive, all appears at first like confusion ; but on a more careful inspection, every animal is found regularly em- ployed. It is very delightful, when the maple and other trees are in bloom, or the clover in the meadows, to be abroad and hear their busy hum.
" Brisk as the busy bee among learning'* flowers, Employ thy youthful sunshine hours. " 14 ELEPHANT-BEETLE.
The Elephant-beetle is the largest of this kind hitherto known, and is found in South America, particularly in Guinea, about the rivers Surinam and Oroonoko.
