Hatching. — O. My attention has been called to the word 
“hatch.” Do bees hatch more than once? Would it not be better 
to have the bees hatch once and emerge to come into existence? 
A. You are quite right; it would be better to say that the 
larva “hatches” from the egg, and the young bee “emerges” from 
the cell. Indeed, you will find that quite often the word “emerges” 
is used in that way, although generally it is said that the young 
bee hatches out of the cell.
