: what do they do?" asked my
young friend.
Immediately the workers start
building more pillars and filling
= them in with cells, while they
line the nest with more paper.
Then, of course, they search
the whole countryside for food
to feed the eggs which the queen
continues to lay. They also act
as sentinels to guard their little
castle. And IL you don't think
they can fight, just attempt to
get too near that nest"
"I'll take your word for i"
laughed Bobby.
"To be sure, there are drones
in a wasp colony, but they, are
not like the drone bees, because
drone wasps make themselves
most useful in clearing out the
galleries after thet grubs have

"Kind of house-builders,' sug-
gested Bobby.
Exactly" I agreed. "Thats >
what they are, for wasps believe
in keeping the home very tidy.
However, the drones do not make
their appearance until very late
in the summer-a!most autumn"
Are there many cells in that
nest, Foxy Grandpa?" asked
Bobby, wrinkling up his little fore
head.
"In a large nest, Bobby" I an
swered, like that one, there are
in all probability sixteen thousand
cells
Some work." said Bobby.
II should say so," said. Think
of feeding those sixteen thousand
cells several times a day and
hustling for the food. 1t is strange,
but the wasps have not learned
the art of storing food-like their
cousins, the oees-but every day
have to provide fresh food for
the fast increasing family"

4 by, as we walked down
into the garden to see the
wasps' nest which had just been
built; do you mean to tell me
that one single lady wasp builds
the nest after she wakes up from
her winter nap, and builds the
cells, and lays the eggs, and feeds
the grubs which come out of the
eggs?"
"I do, Bobby I answered.
But doesn't she get any help
at all, Foxy Grandpa?" insisted
Bobby.
'In time," I said. There
there are some wasps flying
around our nest now. She must
be getting assistance by now"
We went near the nest-but,
Of course, not too near-and sure
enough, the little lady was not
carrying all the burden of her
home and prospective family, we
could see clearly.
What happened?" asked
Bobby.
you see, Bobby" / explained,
when the grubs reach their full
size, having been fed on honey
and fruit juices and such dainties,
they retire into their cells. Then
they close up the entrances to
their little rooms and make a
door over the opening with a
kind Of silk which they spin.
"Now they grow into pupae, or
cocoons. and after several days
break through their winding gar
ment and come forth full-grown
wasps.
Il see," said Bobby. "Then do
they help the queen?"
Then is when the work starts
an earnest. OF course, the queen
supervises the work and directs
her new helpers; but they get
very busy, l can tell you"

longing to see her caught me.
What secret chords had vibrated

that she came from small
