a slug similarly entombed ; while I have myself observed a 

 bombus, which had been stripped by the bees of wings, hair, 

 etc. , in their vain attempts at removal, also encased in this 

 unique style of a sarcophagus, fashioned by the bees. Alcohol, 

 ether, and chloroform are all ready solvents of bea-glue, and 

 will quickly remove it from the hands, clothes, etc. 



BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



For those who wish to pursue these interesting subjects 

 more at length, I would recommend the following authors as 

 specially desirable : Kirby and Spence, Introduction to En- 

 tomology ; Duncan's Transformations of Insects ; Packard's 

 Guide to the Study of Insects (American) ; F. Huber's New 

 Observations on the Natural History of Bees ; Bevan on the 

 Honey bee ; Langstroth on the Honey Bee (American) ; 

 Neighbour on The Apiary ; and the other books already re- 

 ferred to on page eleven. 



I have often been asked to recommend such treatises, and I 

 heartily commend all of the above. The first and fourth are 

 now out of print, but can be had by leaving orders at second- 

 hand book-stores.
