Their nity, ig 
Every ftock of Bees, or colony theii, may be confi- 
dered in this view, as a commonwealth ; their habitation 
ds in common, food and provifion in common, their Ja- 
bours all in common, their care of pofterity in commion, 
and they fympathige with one another in common dan- 
ger, and with the greateft courage and refolution fight 
for one another. | 
By their united endeavours they produce that affu- 
ence and plenty that conftitutes the riches of the whole 
faciety, and of every individual, 
Thus do they live in perfect peace and perpetual uni-_. 
ty, to which the profperity and fafety of the ftate is en- 
tirely owing ; for civil wats, domeftic quarrels and divi- 
fions, would infallibly overturn, and entirely fubvert the 
government.—- Who knows not the fatal confequen- 
ces of divifions, whether in families, cities, churches, or 

kingdoms? | 
If foyl and body are.once feparated, the mani dies. If 
a city.or houfe,be divided againft itfelf it comes to defo- 
Jation; and a. kingdom divided again& itlelf cannog 
ftand. ; 
Thefe jJittle creatures; thus firmly knit together in 
Aincere affeion, and combined in power, appear effecs 
tually fecured from all aflaults and enemies, excepting 
the fire and fulpbur of their cruel matters, | 
How happy .would it be for Great Britain, if all the 
dubjedts of King. GEORG £ wereas firmly united in 
_ fidelity and affe@ion, and as true to one another!
