The Bee People. 
I, 
APIS MELLIFICA, OR THE HONEY-BEE. 
fees honey-bees are buzzy, fuzzy little 
pepper-pots. 
They have pretty, shining wings, but if 
you so much as touch one of them you 
will see what happens! 
You cannot wonder that they do not 
like to have you come too near, for they 
are such little creatures that even a small 
child must seem to them like a tremendous 
giant. 
How would you like to see a great warm 
creature as large as a hill come lumbering 
up and try to put a finger the size of a 
church steeple upon you?
