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 bee glue, and 

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



BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



For those who wish to pursue tbese 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 thfe 

 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.
