The Bee-liive Beetle spends its firub-staye in the bees' combs, feedinji vipon the bee firiibs and chrysalids When 



arrived at full development it has to come out into tlie open and rim the tlaunllet of aii«ry workers, wlio endeavour to 



use their stmfjs. It may be presumed that a considerable percenta.Ue of these beetles, bred in the hive and driven 



from it, do not lony survive their escape. They are shown here live times larijer than bfe.
