Nyrnphte: It is alfo neceflary that Stores of it fhould 
be lodg’d in the Cells adjoining to the Honey, for 
their Winter Provifton ; without which Mr. Reau- 
mur obferves they would be in Danger of dying of 
a Loofencfs, their mod dangerous Malady. 
It feems therefore highly reafonablc to believe, 
that different Kinds of Farina may have d fFcrcnt 
phyfical Qualities: So thar, by making Collections 
of the lame kind in each Cell, they may have pro- 
per Remedies for themfelves again!! Ailments we 
have no Knowlege of, which o her wife they would 
not have, if they were filled at random from all 
Kinds of Flowers. Thele further Advantages, di-

to my Obfcrvat ions,, and are a prefumptive Proof that 
they are true. 
The only thing, befides the former, wherein myOb 
fervations differ from Mr. Reaumur , is in the Manner

lutely concur with him, that the Wax is formed by

them, and then becomes Wax ; and that it is almoft 
impracticable to form Wax any other Way, unlefs 
the Wax extracted from the Myrtle-berries in Ame-

By M. Reaumur’s ObErvations, he forms his Opi-

or Bee-Bread, and it has pafs’d through the firft Sto- 
mach (which is the Refervoir where the Honey is 
lodg’d, from whence it is difeharg’d upwards by its 
Mouth into the Cells) it is convey'd into the fecond 
Stomach ; and yet, when there, great Part of it con- 
tinues in its fpherical or oval Form, hill undigefted,
