apiary. The family consists of three types of bees, the queen, Fig. 7-a, Wiu you

 guard immediately surrounding her. 



the colony. She is a fully developed 

 female bee whose sole duty is that of 

 lajang eggs and increasing her family — 

 the population of the colony — which 

 reaches large numbers. The worker. 

 Fig. 7-b, is an undeveloped female, 

 and this type represents the largest 

 number of the colony's population, 

 which may run from several thousand 

 to eighty-five or one hundred thousand 

 in one hive or family. As. the name 

 indicates the workers gather all the 

 honey and food, care for the young 

 bees and perform other duties in the 

 hive. The drone. Fig. 7-c, is the male 

 bee. He, as his name indicates, con- 

 tributes nothing to the upkeep of the 

 family, a family in which truly " every- 

 body works but father." The queen 

 is able to control the strength of the 

 colony. The workers by construction 

 of a queen cell about an egg and by giving different food may develop 

 a queen from what would otherwise have been developed into a 

 worker.
