Here I examined some coffee and in the evening went on to Hopeville 
estate. 
“On 15th I visited Kadiar rocks, a high rocky cliff to which 
the wild bees (Apis dorsata) suspend their combs, whence a large 
quantity of honey and wax is collected yearly. In the evening I 
visited Arcadia estate, where a few colonies of Apis indica have been 
kept in English hives, but unfortunately these had all swarmed and. 
deserted the hives just prior to my visit. Investigation of the combs 
showed that wax moth (Galleria melionelia) had effected an entrance, 
(See Agricaltural Journal of India, October 1911.)

The bees build below the overhanging rock shown l@:e and the honey-gatherers 
are lowered over the precipice by rores.
