Ingenuity OF Rce..

The wonderful ingenuity Of bees has
often been remarked. The rose-euttcr
separates circular pieces from leaves
with precision aud, digging a hole six
or eight inches deep in the ground, the
bee rolls up the leaf. and depositing it in
the hole, lodges and secures an egg in it,
with food for the larya when hatched,
and often several, but all separated, and
very perfect, aud the bee then presides
in the upper part to protect her brood.
The upholsterer makes a hole enlarged
at the bottom, and lines the whole with
red poppy leaves, lays her egss, supplies
them with food, &c, separately, then
turns down the lining to cover them,
ard closing the hole, leaves them to ma
ture. The wood -piercer makes per-
pendicular hole with vast labor in de-
caying tree, in tho sunshine, Il foot deep;
then deposits her eggs and food, and
separates each by dwarf wall made Of
sawdust anl gluten, each higher than
the other, aud the last closing the hole;
and she then makes another hole hori-
zontally, to enable them to escape as
they successfully mature The mason
bea constructs a nest on the side of n
sunny wall, makes up sand pellets with
gluten, and by persevering industry fixes
aud finishes n cell, in which II lays an
egg and provisions. II then forms 9TH
ers beside il, and covers in the whole,
.he structure. being as firm as the stone.
Wasps aud bumble-be moke cavities
in banks. They line them with wax,
aud make irnumerable cells for their
eggs in perfect communities.
