Beehive

LXII. He beareth a Bee-Hive, beset with Bees diversly volant ... The true shape of the Honey Bee; see numb.51.
The Bee is a cut-wasted Creature, having an Insect in the middle of its body, it hath four Wings, six Leggs, two Faungs, one Beak, or Bill, without any Blood, or Breath; Intrals few, only a certain pant, moving or stirring (as the Heart, or Brain doth) by which they are refreshed and made lively, quick and apt for use: They are generally yellowish, or black garnished with divers colours, all of one form or shape, but differ in quantity, sex, beauty, quality, employment and labour; care and providence.
They make their Honey-Combs, of a gummy moist liquor or glutinous substance, thick, clammy and rough; which they lay for a Foundation; then cover it over with another layer of Wax, or Pitch, made with Gum and Rosin; over that again, they lay Propolis, which we call Bee-Glew. After this they set up the Cells for their Kings and Princes, in the highest place being large, fair and sumptious; and cunningly wrought of the most finest, and purest Wax.
Then each other Comb, contained four orders of Cels, the one for Labouring Bees, the next Drones possess; the next for the Issue of Bees, and the last for Honey making.
