THE HONEY-BEE.
ERRATA.
[p. 22], ten lines from bottom, for "not full grown" read "not more than two or three days old."
[p. 30], last line but one from the bottom, for "neuters" read "strange workers."
[p. 55], line 10 from bottom, for "hind feet" read "pincers on the hind legs."
[p. 110], bottom line, for "four anterior tarsi" read "in the hind legs."
[p. 111], line 3, for "leg" read "hind leg."
" line 6, for "This pocket" read "Above this, on the outside of the tibia, is a pocket, lined, &c."
[p. 136], line 12, for "foul-breeding" read "foul-broody."
ADDENDA.
[p. 126], three lines from bottom, add
"The most remarkable function of the sting-apparatus has, in modern times, been discovered to be the insertion of a minute drop of the poison in each honey-cell when filled. This acts as an anti-septic, and prevents fermentation in the sweet liquid."
[p. 136], after first paragraph, add
"It is now known that this treatment is by no means always successful when the bacilli have reached the "resting" or "spore" stage."
