Ants. STUDY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HONEY BEE. Through the glass sides of the hive observe the comb. The depressions or holes "n it are the cells. Find cells that are empty, others that are partially filled with a substance whose glassy sur- face reflects the light. These cells contain honey. Find cells apparently empty, but which upon close observation are found to have a small, oblong, white body at the bottom of them. These may be seen attached by one end to the bottom of the cell near its center. They are not as large as the head cl a pin, and are often overlooked. They are eggs. Record the date upon a small piece of paper, and paste it on the glass opposite the cells contain- ing eggs, and note the changes from day to day. Determine the number of days elapsing between the time the egg was laid and the time of hatching. Make several trials. Begin with empty cells, and note when the eggs are laid, as some of the eggs may have been in the cells a day or two before you found them. Determine the length of time the young bee is in the grub or larval stage. The larva may be seen one or two days after hatch- ing, floating in a small drop of gray-colored liquid at the bottom of the cell. Note its rate of growth. What care has it received? Has it been nursed, fed, and cared for, or has it, like Topsy, IWWHP â
