. The bee and white ants, their manners and habits; with illustrations of animal instinct and intelligence. Bees; Instinct; Termites. CLOTHIERS—CAEPENTERS—MASONS. This curious habit of swathing up its pupa in a kind of warm blanket has given to these species the name of clothiers. 46. Another class of bees has acquired the name of carpenters, from the manner in which they carve out their nest in wood- work. This bee, which is represented in fig. 17, and of which the nest is shown in fig. 18, having been already described in oui Tract on Instinct and Intelligence (72), need not be noticed further here.. Fig. 17.—The Carpenter Bee. Fig. IS.—Nest of the Carpenter Bee. (Xylacope). 47. Another class of this insect has acquired the name of masons, from the circumstance of building their nests of a sort of artificial stone. The situation selected is usually a stone wall, having a southern aspect, and sheltered on either side by some angular projection. The situation being decided upon, the mother- bee proceeds to collect the materials for the mansion, which consist of sand, with some mixture of earth. These she glues together, grain by grain, with a cement composed of viscid saliva, which she secretes. Having formed this material into little masses, like the grains of small shot, she transports them with her mandibles to the place where she has laid the foundation of her mansion. "With a number of these masses, united together by an excellent cement secreted by her organs, she first lays the foundation of the building. She next raises the walls of a cell about an inch in length, and half an inch broad, resembling in form a thimble. In this she deposits an egg, fills it with a mixture of pollen and honey, in the same manner as described in the former case, and after carefully covering it in, proceeds to the erection of a second building of the same kind, which she furnishes in the same manner, and so continues until she has completed from four to eight.
