We assured her, that her hopes of a swarm were wholly fallacious, as the cause of the clustering of the bees arose solely from the want of room in the hive. She expressed her entire doubt of the truth of our opinion ; but being convinced that the bees which had clustered under the platform were there carrying on their works, we moved a few of the bees, and showed her the combs. She was now convinced ; we placed two eeks under the hives, and in less than half an hour, no portion of the cluster o...f the bees was to be seen. Thus, the old woman in the expectation of her swarms had lost many pounds of honey. Digitized by VjOOQ IC MOTION OP THE WINOS OP BEES. 177 The cause of the motion of the wings of the bees^ which is so rapid that the wings themselves cannot be distinguished, has long been an object of investigation amongst naturalists, and, as may be supposed, it has been attributed to various causes. It has been generally ascribed to a habit of the bee, desirous to promote the circulation of air, and thereby mitigate the heat of the hive ; we are, however, inclined to attribute it to an expression of joy.
