The Bee People. 



I am sure you would do anything to keep 

 it away, and if you had a good sharp sting 

 you would use it. So we must not blame 

 the Bee People for stinging us. 



it is the only way they have of telling us 

 to keep away and let them alone. 



They are friendly enough to their own 

 relations, as you will agree when you learn 

 that there are sometimes as many as sixty 

 thousand of them living happily together in 

 one family. 



Sometimes we build houses, which we 

 call hives, for them, and sometimes they 

 live in a hollow tree in the woods. 



The hives we usually make in these days 

 are square-cornered boxes that can be opened 



Modern 

 Hives.
