To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
While from their cells, still moist with morning dew, The winged wanderers sip the honied glue; In wilder circle wakes the liquid hum, And far remote the winged murmurs come. Another poet, Charlotte Smith, sings : The Erica here, That o'er the Caledonia hills sublime Spreads its dark mantle, (where the bees delight To seek their purest honey) flourishes, Sometimes with bells like amethysts, and then Paler and shaded like the maiden's cheek With gradual blushes other while as white As rime that ...hangs upon the frozen spray. This custom of transporting bees from one place to another, says a writer, appears to be of a very ancient origin. Niebuhr states he met upon the Nile, between Cairo and Damietta. A convoy of four thou- sand hives, being transported from one region where the flowers had passed to one where the spring was later. Columella says that the Greeks in like man- ner sent their beehives from Achaia to Attica. A similar practice prevails in Persia, Asia Minor, Italy and on the Rhone.
