CHAPTER VIII. 



DEATH OF HUM. ROBBERY. RESTITUTION. 



OR the next few days Buz kept 

 steadily at work, and the combs 

 in the super were at last filled and 

 sealed up. They were quite beau- 

 tiful ! clean, regular, and of a 

 golden straw color : the wax was 

 thin and transparent ; and as no 

 eggs had been laid in the super, 

 3 it was all virgin honey — a perfect 

 i-^' picture ! 



Buz had now plenty of leisure, 

 but she spent a good deal of her time in the hive ; 

 for the days began to get short, and the nights long 

 and cold, and the sun himself was lazy about getting 

 up in the morning.
