limps one of Hie .c shiny bw* com^j firing J 
about the entrance in a very suspicious 
manner, ami behaving very much |jk«. an 
intruder. It is a robber, a donixen of' 
another hive trying to find some unguarded I 
spilt where it may slip in and help in.. |f to I 
honey without tin? trouble of gathering it. 
from Ihiwor to flower. An expvrlcn.:,. I eye 
readily recognizes a rubber from it . fici 
that iia honey-bag is lint diatended lik< 
that of other her.* arriving at the hive, A» 
soon as thu robber attempts to alight m ar 
thu ettlrsnoc, the sentinel* tm duty repel n 
at once, taking it by the wing* and often 
Stinging it to death. Then our attention i« 
attracted by the peculiar bohaviur of the 
bee* stationed at this entrance. They nr- 
standing with ihpir beads down and their 
bodies pointing upwards at an angle, 
whilft their wings move ao rapidly that 
we can hardly sen them. They are ven¬ 
tilating thil hive, sending s current of 
cool, fresh air into it ami driving this 
close nir out. Notwithstanding the fact 
that this hire contains twenty thousand 
heos, the nir in it is quite pure, as anslysia 
lots frequently proved. Our architects 
might take a lesson from the Iron Now 
nnd then we see a ben coming out of the 
hive nnd carrying s dead larva, a dead bee, 
a worm of the bee-moth or ionic other 
intruder as far from the hive as its strength 
will permit, for they are neat and tidy both 
in and around the house. 
Such are the facts wc may observe on 
the outside of a hive almost any fair day; 
but as they have occupied us so long, we 
must defer opening the hive until our next 
visit.
