. The world of animal life. Zoology. 35° THE WORLD OF ANIMAL LIFE kind of jelly, which is made by mixing honey with the pollen of flowers. On the fourth day after the egg is laid, the little grub makes its appearance, and begins to eat this jelly. As soon as it has consumed this, the workers bring it some "bee-bread", which is made of pollen pressed very firmly together. And on this it feeds for the remainder of its grub life. In about seven days from its birth, the grub has grown to its full size, when the workers, seeing that it will not want any more food, cover in its cell with a waxen lid. The grub then spins a silken cocoon, and turns to a pupa, or chrysalis, inside it. Ten days later the skin of this pupa bursts, and out comes the perfect bee. The drone grubs take a little longer to grow into bees. These feed for eight instead of seven days, and remain in their cocoons two days longer than the worker grubs. But, on the other hand, the queen grubs grow rather faster, for they only feed for six days, and become perfect bees in a little more than a fortnight from the time when they spin their cocoons. It is an astonishing fact that the bees, if they choose, can actually turn a worker grub into a queen. This they do by feeding it with the jelly all through its life, instead of giving it " bee-bread" as soon as the first supply is exhausted. So if any of the queen grubs should happen to be killed, a number more can easily be obtained by simply changing the food of some of the young worker grubs. The queen bee will never allow a second queen in the hive if she can help it, but other queens are often protected from her; so, when these queen grubs hatch, there is a great commotion. Before long the old queen, or one of the new ones, flies out of the hive with a great number of workers. These, after flying about for a time, gather themselves into a ball with their queen in the midst. This is called swarming, and if the cluster of bees is put into a
