We got some honey here from the very small stingless bee, called, by the Batoka, moandi, and by others, the kokomatsane.

This honey is slightly acid, and has an aromatic flavour.

The bees are easily known from their habit of buzzing about the eyes, and tickling the skin by sucking it as common flies do.

The hive has a tube of wax like a quill, for its entrance, and is usually in the hollows of trees.
Mokompa feared that the tribe was breaking up, and lamented the condition into which they had fallen in consequence of Sekeletu's leprosy; he did not know what was to become of them.

He sent two canoes to take us up to Sesheke; his best canoe had taken ivory up to the chief, to purchase goods of some native traders from Benguela.
