SOLITARY BEES AND WASPS. 



" Hide me from day's garish eye, 

 While the bee with honey'd thigh, 

 That at her flowery work doth sing, 

 And the waters murmuring 

 With such concert as they keep 

 Entice the dewy-feather'd sleep." 



MILTON. 



"The wild bee's note that on the wing 

 Booms like embodied voice along the gale." 



HOGG.
