little comb usually built around a twig. The quality of the honey is very good and the combs white, but the amount of honey stored in these diminutive combs is so small that they can never be of much practical importance, even though it were possible to induce them to remain in hives, which is very doubtful.
There is a species in Ceylon and other eastern countries which has been domesticated with some success, _Apis Indica_. It is small and excitable, and generally inferior to the European races. It is known as the common East Indian honeybee. The natives hive them in small round earthenware pots, later driving them out with smoke to get the honey. Attempts to keep them in frame hives of proper dimensions have met with some success, but the quantity of honey secured is reported as very discouraging. This species is regarded as a variety of _melifica_ by some, rather than a distinct species. In any case it has little claim of interest to the practical beekeeper who has the better kinds.
