as view’d by him with his Glades; and confequently 
mud be convey’d further, before it be thoroughly 
digefted, and the Particles broke; yet this he fup- 
pofes is rcconvey’d upwards through both the Sto- 
machs, and is emitted by its Mouth; and forms his 
Judgment from his Obfervation, that the Bee, when 
working, and finifhing the Cells, nips with its Teeth 
the Wax, where it is too thick, or wrong laid; and 
has obferved a Motion of its Tongue as it were 
fmoothing or laying on more Materials, which he 
thinks muft be then difeharg’d from the Stomach 
by its Mouth. 
What makes me difagree with him in his Opinion 
and Obfervations, is from the Remarks I have made, 
that the Faeces of the Bee difeharg’d by the Anus, 
after the Farina is digefted, is the true Vi 7 ax. Wc 
may with Truth beiieve, that the Farina , which is 
the male Seed of all Vegetables, confifts of a Spirit 
or moving Principle, floating in a fweet Oil, fur- 
rounded by an exterior Coat or Shell, in which is 
that Monade that impregnates the Grain or Fruit, 
and makes it prolific; that, upon Separation or Di- 
geftion, this Spirit and Sweet Oil becomes the Nou- 
rilhment of the Bee ; which Spirit is of the fame 
Nature with the Animalcules in femtne mafeulino 
of Animals, and becomes the animal Spirits in the 
Bee and other Animals ; and perhaps the true Honey 
is the fweet Oil included in the Farina: And as ail 
Vegetables abound with thefe vegetable vivifying 
Atoms, fince, from many, every Bud is capable of 
increafing each Species, fo the true Honey breaking 
through its Shell by great Heat, occafions thofe Honey- 
Dews obferv’d in hot Weather upon the Leaves and 
Flowers
