- Here alfo I muft differ ae the Podeatiot who shad fo’ 
long kept Bees in colonies, onitran{parent boxes, which 
gave him the opportunity of viewing them at allfeafons, 
I wonder he was never fenfible of bis miftake, which a 
little attention would have difcovered. . 
- Here therefore I muft oppofe the DoGor (ens for op- 
pofition’s fake, but becaufe it is matter of fat) and tell 
the world, what I have frequently feen myfelf, and fhewn 
to many others, the young brood in the outermoft parts 
of the boxes and cells clofe to the back-windows, Firft 
the egg, afterwards the little worm, daily encreafing till 
fealed up in the cell and at laft opening a paflage thro’ 
the enclofure of wax, and forcing it’s way out, perfe& 
in all it’s parts, tho’ not at it’s full growth and maturity, 
which feveral days more in the hive are neceflary to ac= 
complifh. 
P Jt was an error therefore in another author, to fay the. 
very day they quit the cells in which they were bred, 
you may fee them at work abroad, and bringing wax in- 
to their hives; which I am well affured, for fome time, 
they have not an ability for. 
- It is eafy many times to obferve, when a fwarm rifes,. 
tany of thefe young Bees forced out in the croud and 
hurry, creeping about the ground before the hive, but. 
unable to fly, and return to their former refidence, or 
keep company with the relt 5 3 and confequently muft 
perifh.
