vations of Dr. Edm. King 5 whereto fome others are added 
by Mr. Willughby, and explained by Figures. 
Some parts of the NEST of another WILD-BEE. 
Not much unlike the firft of thofe not inelegant figures, 
which Johnfton gives under the Name of WE S P E N~ 
STOCK. 
The under or hinder Wings of a Bee^ are the leaft 3 that 
they may not incommode his flight, (a) The Honey-Bag, , ^ ° c u /' d r e 
is the Stomach, which they always fill to fatisfie, and to ne a 
fpare 3 vomiting up the greater part of the Honey, to be 
kept againft Winter. A curious Description and Figure of the 
Sting, fee in Mr. Hoo^s Micrography. In windy Weather, 
Bees often hold a little {tone in their hinder Feet 3 which 
ferves as a Ballad to make them fail through the Air more 
fteadily. (b) The Hiftory of Bees, the beft that Ariftotle ft) raw.

Generation , Confervation , Difeafes , and Ufe 3 fee alfo libo c ^ 
Moufet, Butler, and a late Treatife of Mr. Rufden. All that

Both this, and the Bees-Neft now mention d , confift 
of the fmall Fibers of Plants, cohering, altogether as in 
Paper 3 as may be feen by a Glafs. So that the Stuff may 
not be improperly called BEE-PAPER.

A LONG-OVAL FOLLICLE ( perhaps of a fort of 
Hornet ) with this peculiar, Thatthe<SV/4is cover d with a

of Stiff-work, with a great many fmall Inter ft ices : fo that
