THE WRATH OF THE BEE 



love? Is this the origin of the rancour of the jealous bees and 

 of the austere legend that avenges virtues as jealous as they? 

 Be this as it may, the legend must be classed with the many 

 others that pretend to do great honour to the phenomena of 

 nature by ascribing human feelings to them. It would be 

 better, on the contrary, to mix our petty human psychology as 

 little as possible with all that we do not easily understand, to 

 seek our explanations only without, on this side of man or on 

 that side; for it is probably there that lie the decisive revela- 

 tions which we are still awaiting.
