THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



to gather from the gall insect of the 

 oak-tree a bitter-sweet fluid, which 

 they feed to the honey-bearers, whose 

 bodies soon become round and full of 

 honey. 



The honey-bearers have but one 

 duty, that is to sleep. They hang 

 from the roof of their cells, and let 

 the workers feed upon the honey from 

 their bodies. When a worker wants 

 her dinner, she goes to the honey- 

 bearers' cell and touches one of them 

 lightly with her feelers. The honey- 

 bearer seems to wake up, and at once 

 gives forth a drop of sweet, yellow 

 honey, which, you may be sure, the 

 worker immediately eats. — From "Ant 

 Stories'" DemoresVs Magazine for June.
