PALESTINES. 



These are, perhaps, more yellow and beautiful than Cyprians 

 but can hardly be recommended, as they develop fertile workers 

 to an alarming extent, use more propolis than any others named, 

 and while being handled have a very disagreeable habit of biting 

 the fingers. These have often been confused with Syrians, but 

 the two are quite distinct : Palestines come from the Holy Land 

 proper, while the others are found farther north, in the Lebanon 

 mountains.
