11/17 Apiculture here is a great business. The bee has to be busy all day long and all through the year--no rest. One ingenious fellow proposed crossing the working bee with the firefly, so it could work all night long by its own lantern. I hear wondrous stories of bees getting into cracks of church towers or upper stories, and bulging out the buildings with their accumulated stores--positively cartloads of sweetness. |
