their white spots turned golden. They were

one day something dreadful happened.
When all the bees were away from home
that mischievous fellow, Frolic Fieldmouse

His eyes shone with delight when he saw
the little balls of cells for he dearly loved
honey. He eagerly helped himself destroy

anger. Frolic tried to run out OF the cave
but before he could escape worker Bonn
bus stung him on the nose. Frolic saueaIed
with pain and ran home. resolving never
again to rob a Bombus cave
When all the bees returned and saw the
destruction caused by Frolc there was a
buzz of angry comments. They went to
work TO repair the cells; but 1t took them
several days. and all the larvae were
destroyed 1t was some time before they
had any more helpers
At last more bees were full grown. and
now Mamma Bombus did not do anything
but lay eggs
There were also some guest bees in the

Perhaps they could not: they certainly
would not gather pollen, for they had no

provided them with food. and the guests

When bumblebee came buzzing along
and alighted the clover blossom to sip
its nectar little larva BEETLE softly drop
ped down upon the back of the unsuspect-

smut up with the BombuS egg.
That was Just what he wanted. for the
cell made a nice little home for him while
he was growing. and. OF course, he ate
the egg He changed his skin several mes

upon honey long time. He PASSED through
several changes before he became blister

Now Mrs. Bombus found several beetle

destroyed her children. Tie Eombus larvae
had also been devoured by the larvae of the
Nolucella lily. plump. hairy insect. which
also locks like a worker lee. except that
1t has only two wings.
Mrs. Eombus never ErooGed over misfor-
tune: she kept on laying eggs and the
workers toiled harder than ever. Some
times they went SO far TO search for
nectar or pollen that they had to spend
the night curled up in some flower.
They dearly loved the honey made from
the thistles and sunfioWers, and sometimes
instead of carrying 1t to their cells they ate
so much of it that they became intoxicated
and dropped to the ground with buzz
Mrs Bombus gave them a lecture one day
on the evils of giuttony and laziness, and
after that they restrained their appetites and
were more Industrious than ever.
BY the end of August the Bombus cave
was busting place The cluster Of brood
and honey cells had increased in size until
it was three inches in diameter and was
covered with chopped grass. The Bombus
family, in spite of their misfortues, had
grown large. Besides the big workers and
the small workers there were some lazy
male bees called drones. which had lately
been matched. These with the guests bees
were uncomplainingly fed by the workers.
Work and sing their motto, and all
day long they cheerfully buzzed about
their work.
One morning, however. their cheer was
turned to lamentation. for Mamma Bombus
was found lying stiff and still. She had
reached her allotted age and during the
night had quietly died.
That was only the beginning. Before
many weeks had passed the drones had
ended their lazy lives. One after another
the numbers of the family passed out of eN-
istence Cold weather found only few
strong females, who crawled away and
slept during the long winter, as their MOTH
er had done the year before.
