Honey-Comb. riy 
When the pollen, or bee-bread, as it 
generally is called after Miss Apis has 
gathered it and mixed it with honey, has 
been pushed into the cell, it is patted down 
and perhaps a little more honey added to 
it. When the cell is full, it is capped over 
like the cells that contain honey. 
Sometimes a whole comb will be filled 
with bee-bread, and sometimes a comb will 
contain part bee-bread and part honey. 
Miss Apis is fond of bee-bread, but we 
are not. We gladly take away her honey, 
but we do not care to rob her of her bee- 
bread. It has a curious taste 
whyich I should like to describe to you, 
# but I can only say it tastes like 
~ bee-bread, and like nothing else in 
)\the world that Ly 
\: a know of. 4
