A57915	A full discovery of bees Treating of the nature, government, generation & preservation of the bee. With the experiments and improvements, arising from the keeping them in transparent boxes, instead of straw-hives. Also proper directions (to all such as keep bees) as well to prevent their robbing in straw-hives, as their killing in the colonies.The second edition, by Moses Rusden, an apothecary; bee-master to the King's most excellent Majesty. Published by His Majesties especial command, and approved by the Royal Society at Gresham Coll.	Rusden, Moses.; Millton, Henry, engraver.	1685 (1685)	Wing R2312; ESTC R218543	73,763	168

thus_o some_o bee_n do_v every_o year_n more_o or_o less_o according_a to_o the_o goodness_n or_o badness_n of_o the_o year_n for_o plentifulness_n of_o honey_n for_o in_o very_o bad_a year_n they_o rob_v one_o another_o very_o much_o but_o in_o good_a year_n they_o rob_v very_o little_a so_o that_o scarce_o any_o bee_n have_v be_v rob_v when_o the_o year_n have_v yield_v much_o honey_n which_o show_v that_o bee_n know_v their_o poverty_n and_o lack_n of_o food_n and_o also_o their_o strength_n which_o consist_v in_o great_a number_n for_o if_o they_o have_v but_o few_o bee_n they_o be_v not_o so_o able_a to_o sight_n as_o to_o overcome_v and_o rob_v another_o stock_n do_v grow_v desperate_a otherwise_o they_o will_v not_o so_o much_o endanger_v their_o own_o life_n as_o we_o see_v they_o do_v in_o attempt_v to_o rob_v other_o when_o they_o find_v that_o they_o have_v not_o a_o competent_a maintenance_n at_o home_n also_o all_o that_o keep_v bee_n know_v that_o in_o good_a year_n there_o be_v very_o few_o or_o no_o robbery_n commit_v among_o their_o bee_n the_o cause_n of_o which_o i_o judge_v to_o be_v because_o the_o bee_n know_v when_o they_o have_v sufficient_a to_o maintain_v they_o until_o the_o next_o summer_n and_o then_o they_o be_v not_o so_o desperate_a as_o to_o endanger_v the_o loss_n of_o their_o own_o life_n to_o get_v more_o with_o so_o much_o difficulty_n danger_n and_o injustice_n from_o which_o premise_n i_o conclude_v that_o rich_a stock_n and_o colony_n well_o order_v and_o well_o to_o pass_v seldom_o or_o never_o

common_a bee_n and_o i_o be_o the_o more_o confirm_v in_o this_o opinion_n because_o we_o see_v the_o like_a insect_n the_o male-wasp_n that_o he_o make_v his_o own_o comb_n in_o his_o nest_n and_o breed_v all_o his_o young_a alone_a lie_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o six_o or_o seven_o cell_n without_o the_o help_n of_o the_o common_a wasp_n until_o some_o be_v hatch_v and_o then_o the_o wasp_n breed_v fast_o by_o have_v more_o heat_n among_o they_o the_o male_a wasp_n breed_v thus_o alone_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o see_v so_o few_o of_o they_o abroad_o until_o the_o summer_n be_v almost_o end_v for_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o wasp_n do_v all_o die_v every_o winter_n but_o the_o male-wasp_n fly_v away_o and_o be_v not_o kill_v as_o be_v the_o male-bee_n because_o they_o fly_v away_o and_o so_o be_v not_o in_o a_o capacity_n of_o undermine_v that_o government_n which_o of_o itself_o must_v be_v short_o extinct_a nature_n its_o self_n so_o wise_o order_v the_o destruction_n of_o those_o vermin_n for_o every_o male_a thus_o fly_v away_o live_v in_o some_o obscure_a place_n be_v of_o a_o strong_a constitution_n than_o bee_n be_v until_o the_o next_o spring_n and_o then_o every_o one_o that_o live_v so_o long_o make_v a_o several_a nest_n where_o he_o can_v find_v a_o place_n the_o king-bee_n have_v no_o need_n thus_o to_o breed_v alone_o and_o take_v such_o pain_n to_o gather_v generative_a matter_n out_o of_o vegetable_n for_o the_o production_n of_o bee_n because_o he_o have_v a_o multitude_n '_o of_o subject_n that_o do_v it_o at_o his_o command_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o great_a number_n and_o heat_n of_o the_o bee_n much_o help_v they_o to_o breed_v so_o fast_o in_o the_o spring_n that_o they_o have_v such_o multitude_n before_o the_o honey-dew_n come_v for_o we_o see_v in_o very_o poor_a stock_n and_o cast_v sometime_o but_o a_o handful_n of_o bee_n in_o all_o left_a and_o yet_o they_o live_v and_o breed_v have_v their_o king_n with_o they_o but_o so_o slow_o and_o so_o few_o for_o want_n of_o heat_n that_o though_o they_o escape_v the_o robber_n yet_o can_v recover_v themselves_o to_o gather_v enough_o whilst_o summer_n last_v to_o keep_v they_o in_o the_o winter_n follow_v as_o for_o my_o second_o reason_n that_o the_o honey_n bee_n be_v not_o female_n by_o copulation_n or_o conception_n but_o by_o supply_v the_o place_n and_o office_n of_o the_o female_a beside_o what_o be_v above_o say_v concern_v the_o similitude_n of_o the_o male-wasp_n supply_v himself_o in_o the_o feminine_a office_n i_o thus_o make_v it_o appear_v if_o they_o do_v copulate_v with_o the_o king_n be_v which_o be_v the_o only_a male_n then_o of_o necessity_n they_o must_v as_o other_o infect_v do_v receive_v his_o sperm_n into_o their_o body_n and_o so_o consequent_o lay_v prolific_a egg_n as_o the_o silkworm_n do_v into_o their_o several_a cell_n which_o they_o do_v not_o as_o i_o can_v ever_o yet_o find_v or_o hear_v of_o any_o that_o ever_o do_v therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o further_a that_o place_n which_o receive_v sperm_n and_o retain_v it_o in_o order_n to_o propagation_n be_v a_o matrix_fw-la and_o the_o several_a matrix_n where_o into_o the_o king-bee_n inject_v his_o sperm_n none_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o they_o be_v all_o prepare_v and_o build_v by_o the_o hony-bee_n which_o be_v these_o each_o of_o those_o particular_a oblong_a pavilion_n at_o the_o edge_n of_o the_o comb_n be_v a_o matrix_fw-la for_o the_o production_n of_o the_o royal_a race_n of_o each_o

for_o the_o production_n of_o each_o common_a honey-bee_n and_o each_o cell_n in_o the_o drone-comb_n which_o cell_n be_v large_a and_o deep_a than_o the_o hony-bee_n cell_n be_v be_v a_o matrix_fw-la

be_v therein_o unite_v in_o order_n to_o production_n by_o their_o constant_a heat_n administer_v to_o it_o each_o bee_n be_v produce_v as_o for_o my_o three_o reason_n that_o the_o drone_n have_v neither_o part_n nor_o instrument_n for_o generation_n either_o as_o male_a or_o female_a as_o male_a i_o never_o yet_o can_v find_v any_o sperm_n in_o a_o drone_n by_o defection_n as_o i_o have_v find_v in_o a_o king-bee_n and_o whereas_o some_o suppose_v the_o drone_n to_o have_v testicle_n because_o he_o have_v a_o obtuse_a tail_n it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o that_o part_n of_o he_o which_o they_o suppose_v to_o be_v testicle_n be_v only_o the_o fleshy_a membranous_a substance_n of_o his_o obtuse_a form_n and_o tail_n but_o see_v bee_n never_o use_v copulation_n i_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v suppose_v that_o nature_n produce_v testicle_n in_o the_o drone_n for_o no_o use_n for_o male_n they_o can_v be_v because_o the_o bee_n can_v breed_v when_o they_o have_v drone_n among_o they_o if_o the_o king-bee_n be_v want_v as_o female_a the_o drone_n never_o work_v because_o he_o have_v no_o fang_n and_o so_o be_v uncapable_a of_o do_v the_o part_n of_o a_o female_a for_o the_o hony-bee_n do_v most_o of_o their_o work_n for_o breed_v with_o their_o fang_n for_o with_o they_o they_o gather_v nutritious_a or_o augmentative_a matter_n fit_a for_o generation_n of_o foetus_fw-la and_o with_o they_o likewise_o they_o commix_v the_o aforesaid_a matter_n in_o the_o matrix_fw-la of_o the_o cell_n with_o those_o active_a principle_n contain_v in_o the_o sperm_n of_o the_o king-bee_n thus_o their_o fang_n be_v their_o instrument_n with_o which_o they_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n supply_v the_o pair_v and_o office_n of_o the_o female_a the_o drone_n therefore_o can_v be_v a_o female_a because_o as_o all_o man_n may_v plain_o see_v he_o have_v no_o fang_n wherewith_o to_o work_v but_o the_o most_o certain_a reason_n why_o the_o drone_n be_v neither_o male_a nor_o female_a be_v because_o two_o or_o three_o and_o sometime_o four_o generation_n of_o bee_n be_v breed_v in_o many_o stock_n before_o any_o drone_n appear_v to_o be_v among_o they_o which_o be_v impossible_a if_o the_o drone_n be_v male_n or_o female_n moreover_o i_o have_v know_v several_a stock_n of_o bee_n to_o have_v breed_v and_o increase_v until_o midsummer_n without_o have_v any_o drone_n among_o they_o also_o the_o use_n and_o nature_n of_o the_o drone_n show_v that_o he_o be_v not_o necessary_a either_o as_o male_a or_o female_a be_v produce_v by_o nature_n only_o for_o a_o
