INDUSTRY OF WASPS. 421 
During the whole of this day only four or five 
strange wasps came to the honey. 
As regards the regularity of their visits, and the 
time occupied, other wasps which I observed agreed 
very closely with this one. For comparison, it may be 
worth while to give one or two other cases. I will 
commence with that of a worker,I believe V. vulgaris.

10 a.m. I put her to the honey; she fed and then flew 
about the room, and at last got into my bee- 
hive.

her to the honey. She again flew all about 
the room. 
11.41. She returned, and this time came to the 
honey; but when she had fed again flew 
round and round the room, and did not seem 
able to find her way out. I therefore put her 
out. ¢ 
12.11 she returned, and the same thing happened again.
