92 The Bee People. 
In fact, all the bees in the hive work 
very hard, excepting the drones, and they 
generally form a very small proportion of 
the whole number. 
The drone is an idler because he is so 
made that it is impossible for him to work. 
But he is happy, and flies about in the 
sun, taking whatever good comes to him 
without finding fault. 
His sisters are glad to work for him, 
and he is glad to have them do so.
