Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bees and Wasps The terms bee and wasp probably do not, except to an entomologist, denote more than a very small assemblage of insects. The honey-bee and perhaps one or two species of bumble-bees on the one hand, and the yellow and black banded insects that cause such consternation at the breakfast table on the other, represent for most of us the sum total of personal acquaintance in this class of animals. It is therefore necessary at the outset to explain the sense in which we are here employing the two words which constitute the title of this little volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ants, Bees, and Wasps: A Record of Observations on the Habits of the Social Hymenoptera This volume contains the record of various experiments made with ants, bees, and wasps, during the past ten years; and most of which have appeared in the 'Journal of the Linnean Society, ' for the years 1874 to 1882. Other occupations and many interruptions, political and professional, have prevented me from making them so full and complete as I had hoped. My parliamentary duties, in particular, have absorbed most of my time just at the season of year when these insects can be most profitably studied. I have, therefore, whenever it seemed necessary, carefully recorded the month during which the observations were made; for the instincts and behaviour of ants, bees, and wasps are by no means the same throughout the year. My object has been not so much to describe the usual habits of these insects as to test their mental condition and powers of sense.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wasp Studies Afield If any excuse were needed for welcoming another work in addition to the nearly three hundred books and articles that have been published on the habits of the solitary wasps, it would suffice to point to the fact that no Other group of insects has so fascinated and bafi'led the student of animal behavior, the psychologist and the philosopher. When among contemporary generalizers we find an eminent psychologist, William mcdougall, claiming for the solitary wasps a degree of intelligence which (with the doubtful exception of the higher mammals) approaches most nearly to the human, and the illustrious Bergson using the same insects as paradigms of instinct in the sense of intuition as contrasted with intelligence, there is surely need of a renewed presentation of facts already established, of the publication of new observations and of a serious attempt at dispassionate interpretation like that made in the present volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bees Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a manuscript entitled "Bees," by E. F. Phillips, Ph. D., in charge of bee culture in this bureau. This paper will supersede Farmers' Bulletins 59 and 397, A few new illustrations which add greatly to the value of the paper and some minor alterations in the text are the only changes in this from Farmers Bulletin 397; but since it is not now the policy of the department to issue revised editions, it is recommended that this bulletin be issued under a new serial number. In the preparation of this paper the aim has been to give briefly such information as is needed by persons engaged in the keeping of bees, and to answer inquiries such as are frequently received from correspondents of the department. No attempt has been made to include discussions of bee anatomy, honey plants, or the more special manipulations sometimes practiced, such as queen rearing. The discussion of apparatus is necessarily brief. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bees and Wasps This little book makes no claim to be an exhaustive treatment of a very large subject. It is merely a sketch in which I have filled in details of those few insects which happen to come under my immediate notice, have touched lightly on others in mere outline, and have omitted entirely many extensive groups which are visible enough to those who look for them, but which for various reasons are not familiar to the general public. It has been my aim to write mainly on those Hymenoptera which have especially interested and delighted me, in the hope that I might thus best interest others and introduce them to one of the most fascinating branches of Natural History. It is for this reason that I have confined my remarks to British species of Hymenoptera. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Anatomy of the Honey Bee Classic Reprint written by R. E. Snodgrass and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anatomy of the Honey Bee Studies on the anatomy of the bee have not been lacking, for many good workers have taken up this subject for investigation. The popular demand for such information, however, has induced untrained men to write on the subject, and most accounts of bee anatomy contain numerous errors. This is probably to a greater extent true of the anatomy of the bee than of that of any other insect. Frequently the illustrations used by men not trained in anatomical work are more artistic than those usually found in papers on insect anatomy, and they consequently bear the superficial marks of careful work, but too often it is found that the details are in accurate. It has therefore seemed the right time for a new presenta tion of this subject based on careful work. The drawings given in the present paper are original, with the exception of figures 12, 54, and 55, and have been prepared with a thorough realization of the need of more accurate illustrations of the organs of the bee, especially of the internal organs. Mistakes will possibly be found, but the reader may be assured that all the parts drawn were seen. Most of the dissections, moreover, were verified by Dr. E. F. Phillips and Dr. J. A. Nelson, of this Bureau, before the drawings were made from them. An explanation of the abbreviations and lettering is given on pages 139 - 147.

For, you see, bees get their food from the flowers, and the flowers need the bees to enable them to form their seeds. The flowers that we like best have bright colored petals. The petals of a rose are, pink or white or yellow. The petals of a violet are purple, and those of a forget-me not are blue. Sometimes the petals are separate, as in a rose or a buttercup, and you can pull them off one by one. Sometimes they are all grown into one piece like the funnel - shaped flower of the morning - glory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Nor will this be at the cost of what still remains to be learned. I shall pass over in silence the hoary traditions that, in the country and many a book, still constitute the legend of the hive. Whenever there be doubt, disagreement, hypothesis, when I arrive at the unknown, I shall declare it loyally; you will find that we often shall halt before the un known.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from More Hunting Wasps The Pompilus has done no digging. It is really an accidental hole with spacious winding passages, the result of the mason's negligence and not of the Wasp's industry. The closing of the cavity is quite as rough and summary. A few crumbs. Of mortar, heaped up before the doorway, form a bar ricade rather than a door. A mighty hunter makes a poor architect. The Tarantula's murderess does not know how to dig a cell for her larva; she does not know how to fill up the entrance by sweeping dust into it. The first hole encountered at the foot of a wall contents her, provided that it be roomy enough; a little heap of rubbish will do for a door. Nothing could be more expeditious.
