The Life of the Bee 
vidual existence attainable for us on this 
mute and impenetrable surface, even as 
the flight of the condor, the song of the 
nightingale, reveal to them the highest 
degree of existence their species allows. 
But the evocation of this feeble cry, when- 
ever opportunity offers, is none the less 
one of our most unmistakable duties ; nor 
should we let ourselves be discouraged by 
its apparent futility.
