But to return to the workers, they
do not have to take the lesVings. The
best there is going, and plenty of it is
the rule. They are not kept at the
point of bare subsistence nor worked
to the extent of endurance. They are
not crowded into the deadly tenement
or subject to eviction; neither are their
rights taken away on teChniCslities;
they have as good q show in the courts

He is not robbed of his earnings by

elections among bees. They are not
voted in sWsrms or even in "blocks of

He fears no corporation, syndicate,

he finds flower unused he may take

but they do not mOnopolize the flowers
to make their fellows pay tribute. And
yet We do not know that they have any
teachers of Christian principles among
them to restrain them from shutting
out their fellows from the common
heritage. They seem by instinct to
know that the prosperity Of the colony
depends upon the prosperity Of the
aOorkerS IN that colony, and they gov
ern themselves accordingly.

Here is a field of inquiry that should

desire for our country the greatest de-

not to be expected unless the great

porous. The prosperity of the produC-

the amount produced, but by the

enCe to bsrbsrous ancient bee custom,
In times of scarcity when famine
threatens, the workers are not the first
to suffer, as among human beings. 1t
Is the droneg, the ger tlemen bees, the
bees who are tolerated only for the
purpose of perpetuating the species,
that have to fesr; they are the first to
suffer. For the workers have a nasty,
anarchist habit of killing off OF thinning
out of the ranks Of these gentry when
famine threatens. AS the drones are
unarmed they are defenseless. AS the
workers are the government, the de-
struGtion Of the drones is not an up
rising of serfs against lords and
masters, 1t Is not in the nature of in
gurrectlOn, but the simple execution
Of bee law in harmony with the princi-
pies of political economy as held by
Lees. "It Is better that the drones be
sacrificed than that the whole colony
perish" must be part of their organic
law. And yet the drones are not very
bad bees. They are an idle lot, Of
course, but they are satisfied with the
same fare as the workers. They are
are not psmpered with luxuries denied
to the producers. Having all they can
use they do not care to pile up what
they do not need. They are not given
to boisterOus dissipation. If they do
not help, they hinder the workers as
little as possible and take their rations
quietly. They are not trsmps, they
are simply gentleman bees, bees Of
leisure, tolerated in idleness for the
perpetustlon Of the species and subject
to decimation when they becomes bur
den. We have no evidence that they
concern themselves in bee politics, as
nire to rule or even become captains
of industry" They do not inter
fere with trade or production by seek
Ing to impose restrictions or regulations
upon labor.
How 1t might be with the drone If he
could sting we cannot say. He might
assert himself, claim the earth and
charge the workers price for the priv
ilege Of working. In other words, he
might become a monopolist and get the
cinch on his fellows, threaten to shut
them out Of their natural inheritance,
or by doing out his favors secure the
reputation Of great benefsctor of the
race. In such q case he would have
his wOrshipers who would seek to show
how necessary such bees were In So
ciety and how very necessary to the
workers, providing chances for them
to work.
The workers, as / have before said,
have just as good fare as the drones or
the queen. AS for the queen, she is
the mother Of the family or colony and
deserves all the consideration granted
her, she Is no idle figure-hesd or vain
triaer, botheling her head about ques-
tions Of precedence at royal receptions,

WORKER BEES AND WORK
INGMEN.
BY WILLIAM MORPHY.
"How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey oil the day
From every opening flower

Industry How often has he had
pointed out to him that the bee was an
early riser; that he took hold Of bis
work in q businass-like manner? not
in that listless, half. f.hearted, unwilling
way common to boys. That the bee
made the most of his opportunities,
took good care Of his property and
used good jungment In looking out for
cold winter and a rainy day. This
tuna we have heard time again, with
all the variations, until we have grown
to feel hard toward the frisky insect
and are disposed to pick flaws In his
character. And now when manhood
has come and we know more of the
bee and his real habits, we regret that
our knowledge comes so late, too late
for self defense. l protest, however,
against the assumption that the lesson
of the bee Is for children to the exclu-
sion of grown people. l think the
Wisest among us might learn some
thing from the same source. There
are some points that bear fOrcibly on
the labor question.
We freely admit that the bee Is quite
industrious, but claim that 1t is a nat
ursl characteristic, not cultivated
habit. There is no compulsion about
it other than the individual bee In
stinct.
When the bee works he "pltChes in"
with all his might, but let us remem-
ber that he does not gather honey when
the sun does not shine, when the wind
is wrong, when 1t rains or when 1t Is
too cold. The conditions must be all
right or he stays at home.
do not think the bee Is In favor of
an elght.hour day, because the best
authorities say that about three hours
is days work among bees. The
proposition of the Yankee to CROSS the
bee with the lightning.bug would
give no advantage, as the bee can work
In the dark and chooses to shut out all
the light, 80 that all work done In the
hive is done In the dark. No work
worth speaking Of is done In the
winter.
Bees are not 0VerWorked because
there are many workers and q proper
division of labor. Notwithstanding
the fewness of the hours, such is the
efficiency of the labor, they are able to
provide for the whole colony, drones
included, besides raising one, two, and
sometimes three young sWarms, and
then, after all that, give a good share
Of honey to robber men.
And all this without the aid of ma.
chinery. If they had machines by
which man makes imitation comb they
would have more time to loaf. For
under their system, the introduction
of machinery would not take away
their chance for living, 1t would sim
ply tighten their labor. AS their labor
is light enough as it is, they do not
care for machinery. II they did use
machinery, it would be common prop.
erty, it would not be monopolized.
OVerproductlon never makes hard
times among bees. OVerproduction is
9 jolly good thing for them and when
that occuls. .theyIdOlone of two sensible
things, they either double the popula.
ton or take s.holidsy. Q If!there ia lack
