HONEYBEE QUEENS. fHE MANNER IN WHICH THEY ARE FED BY THE WORKERS. jiiexrc? Are Xnmcrfms Snfcfcaords In the Hive to Ppovide Against the Adrixinistrntiim o:r Poison Honey?It Is Different With Wasps. The safeguards provided against the. administration of poison to the desiAOtie oriental rulers arc rudimentary cornered with those which stand between queens of the honeybee and such a risk. Curiously enough, tbfsis a phase At' the internal economy of the beehive which appears to have escaped Dbservation. In the British isles 110 poisonous honey is collected. If it exists the bees have learned to avoid it. . Probably " ;i? t-ho iionov from at least one dangerous plant, the deadly nightshade, is harmless. Ivy honey would bo the most suspicious of any gathered on a large scale, and it only exerts, so far as observation goes, a slightly laxative effect: on the digestive organs. Although in this country no poisonous honey is known, it is met with in other places, notably in Asiatic Turkey. It was in this region that XenophoiTs soklicrs were poisoned 2,3UU years ago by honey from the Azelia pontica. a plant which still nourishes in Armenia. Some centuries later a Roman army suffered similarly, but loss severely, there being no deaths. The precaution of compelling the :*ook to eat a portion of every dish, which is the usual safeguard of despotic rulers, or the still more primitive plan of giving the lirst helping to a little dog. can be eluded by a clever Borgia by having only one-half of a bird or pastry poisoned. In a wasps' nest each forager on returning pro 1., .1 11,0 nnppn mid offers refresliment. Consequently the queen is sometimes destroyed by slowly acting poison. further ns regards wasps, it is observed that when any larvre not recently fed perceive the queen receiving food they become restless. It nearly grown tlicy wag their heads in a suggestive way, which plainly conveys a demand for a share. Each forager after feeding; the queen gives the balance of his load direct to the nurses. In the case of the honeybee one possible reason why no virulently poisonous honey reaches the hive may be that the insect foolish enough to collect any would probably die, as the so called honey sack is really a stomach In which a preliminary digestive.process proceeds. This is proved by the polarlscopc.q which shows that, while the nectar of the Hovers is pure cane sugar, or levulose, the substance in the hive cells is sacronietrically half dextrose and lialf cane sugar. Dextrose is invert sugar, a coarse variety of which is the glucose of commerce. Forager bees returning to the beehive place the half digested product known as honey in their storeroom with other honey. This mixing would have the effect of attenuating a poisoned load should sueii [>i? nrougxiL m. Foraging bees-uover feed the queen or young larvae* but they give a mouthful or two to drones in passing. .Trust before sealing for the metamorphosis workers and drones are fed with honey mixed with pollen. Xot so the young queens, who only get a further supply of the re digested milky substance known as eliylc, which is the sustenance of all larvre indiscriminately during the lirst three days of their existence. During the chrysalis stage there is no feeding. It is tlie business of a gang, distinct for the time being, to eater for the queen and young. They bring the food from the stores and submit it to the digestive process referred to. after which it is regurgitated to supply* the needs of the queen and young larv.-e. The attendants are numerous, and each supplies only a minute quantity. The queen bee is so 'oustituted that her digestive system is itpablc of assimilating only the prepared food of chyle. She will die in a few hours on a comb containing honey, xltliough kept at the temperature of he hive. Thus it would appear that the safeguards are: First.?A boo collecting poisonous toncy would probably die before caching the hive. Kceund.?If one succeeded in depositng poisoned honey, the circumstance Jjiit it Uiil so would prove the poison o be nol virulent, mid its mixture with otlier honey in the storeroom would still further attenuate the poison and render it harmless. This is he stage at which the product becomes human food. It has. as stated lbove. occurred that poisoned lioncy ins passed lioth these lines of defense. Third.?Should the honey be still dolteriotis the alimentary attendants of he queen would first suffer, and only hose bringing wholesome food would each her, as a struggle for the prlviege of feeding her majesty Is contlnuilly In progress. Fourth.?Should the stores pass the hree safeguards before mentioned here Is still another?viz, that each >ne of the queen's attendants feeds ler only for a second at a time, and hus she would never get a sufficient luantity to nffect her seriously. The [ueen Is always on the move and the ompetition to feed her so great thnt be is continually bringing fresb bees n front of her, from which position done food can be administered.
