148 FOREIGN WORKS ON BEES. 



Memoires sur les Abeilks, par Jean Lusac, vol. i. 8vo. 



Abhandlungen und Erfahrungen der oconomischen Bienen- 

 gesellschaft in Ober Lausitz, zur Aufnahme der Bienenzucht 

 in Sachsen herausgegeben. It is rather singular that the 

 brother of the celebrated Schirach was the editor of this 

 work ; and in no one has the system of that eminent na- 

 turalist been more minutely investigated, or his errors more 

 successfully refuted. 



Traite des Mouches amiel, ou Regies pour les Men gouverner, 

 et les moyens d'en tirer un profit considerable par la recolte de 

 la cire et du miel. Paris, 1776. vol. i. 12mo. 



Tratade breva de la cultivacion y cura de las Colmenas, fyc. 

 compuesto por Juy Mendoz de Terres. Seville, 1748. 8vo. 



In this work will be found the laws which were instituted 

 at Seville for the promotion of the culture of the bee, and 

 by which it was rendered imperative on every cottager to 

 keep three hives of bees, or in lieu to pay a certain fine to the 

 treasury of the city. 



Histoire naturelle des Abeilles, par VAbhe Bainz. Bour- 

 deaux, 1754. vol. ii. 12mo. 



Unterrichtungen in der Bienenzucht, mit Hirer Naturge- 

 schichte, in welchen die Entdeckungen des Herrn Huber vollig 

 untersucht werden, mit verschiedenen Anmerkungen uber das 

 Fructifirung der Eyer der Konigin. Frankfurt, 1787. vol. i. 

 12mo. 



This work is attributed to the celebrated Goethe. We 

 visited his apiary at Isenburg, about five miles from Frank- 

 fort, which then consisted of about seventy hives ; but there 

 was nothing indicative either of skill or originality in their 

 management ; on the contrary, it was distinguished by many 

 of the faults and prejudices which at that time prevailed 

 in Germany, to the great detriment of the proper culture of 

 the bee.
