 Honey and Wax. The Bees are of two(brtf| 

 the one ftioit and thick, aud its Colour in- 

 clining to Red • the other blackifh, long 

 and (lender. They neft on the tops and in 

 holes of Trees 5 which the Indians climb, 

 and thruft their Arms into their Neft, to 

 get the Combs. Their Arms will be co- 

 ver d with Bees, upon their drawing them 

 back 5 yet I never percdv d they were 

 flung by them : And I haive had many of 

 them at a time upon my naked Body, with- 

 out being fixing $ fo that I have been in- 

 clin d to think they have no Stings : 

 But that's a thing T never examin d. The 

 Indians fometimes burn down the Trees to 

 get at the Combs, efpecially if they be 



Mri.y; high and difficult to climb. The Honey 

 they mix with Water, and drink it : But. 



Waxq they make 110 ufe of the Wax, that ever I 

 faw- ufingfor Candles a fort of light Wood,

 purpofe.
