What reading level is The Bee And White Ants Their Manners And Habits With Illustrations of Animal book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" 159. The industry of the bee may be estimated by the average number of its daily excursions from the hive to collect provisions. According to Reaumur, if the total number of excursions be divided by the total number of bees in a hive, the average number daily made by each bee would be from five to six. But as one- half of the bees are occupied exclusively with the domestic busi- ness of the society, either in nursing and tending the young, packing and storing the provisions, or constructing t...he combs, the total number of excursions must be divided, not between the whole, but between only half the total number of bees, which would give ten excursions to each individual of the collecting class ; and if the average length of each excursion be taken at three quarters of a mile, this would give the average distance travelled by each collector as fifteen miles ! It is estimated by Kirby that the quantity of ponderable matter thus transported during a season in a single hive would be about 100 Ibs.
