What further confirms my Obfcrvation is this, 
that each Load upon the Legs of a Bee is of one uni- 
form Colour throughout, as a light Red, an Orange, 
a Yellow, a White, or a Green, and is not upon dif- 
ferent Parts of the Load of a different Colour; fo 
that as the Farina of each Species of Flowers, 
when cclledlcd together, is of one uniform Colour, 
the Prefumption is, that it is gather’d from one Species. 
For, if from different Kinds, Part of the Load might 
be of one Colour, and Part cf another. 
Another Oblcrvation to confirm the fame Fad is, 
that Bees, in the Height of the Scafon, return to 
their Hives with Loads of very different Magnitudes, 
fome having Loads as great as fmall Shor, whilft 
others have very fmall Loads ; it cannot be con- 
ceiv’d that this Difference is from the Inactivity or 
Sloth of the Bee in collecting its Load, but rather 
from the Scarcity of the Flowers, upon which it 
firfl: began to load. 
Now, if the Fads' are fo, and my Obfervations 
true, I think that Providence has appointed the Bee 
to be very inftrumental in promoting the Increafe 
of Vegetables ; but otherwife, might be very detri- 
mental to their Propagation; and at the fame time 
they contribute to the Health and Life of their own 
Species. 
From the late Improvement made by Giaffes, and 
Experiments made, in obferving the Works of Na- 
ture, it is almoft demonftrabie, that the Farina upon 
the apices of Flowers is the Male Seed; which en 
tering the Fiji ilium or Matrix in the Flower, im 
pregnates the Ovum, and makes it prol fic. It is 
often neceffary to have Wind and dry Weather to
