BtMENOPTEROUS INSECTS. 
CHAPTER VL 
Order V . — Hymenopterous Infe Sis, 
1 HIS order contains all the bees, hornets, wafps, and 
ichneumons, infects which are diftinguifhed from thofe 
•which we have already reviewed, by poffeffing a ding, 
and four membranous wings. Some of them the indudry 
of man has turned to advantage, by reducing them into a 
domedic date, while the greater part dill remain the free 
fervants of nature, and may be regarded among the mod 
inveterate enemies which men have to dread among this 
race of animals.
