Abstract
Sir , Since my View of doing Good, making Discoveries of the Great World has been disappointed, upon my Retirement into this little Corner of it, [ Ireland ] amongst other rural Amusements I have been contemplating the Inhabitants of the Little World; particularly that most useful and industrious Society of Bees; and have had Time to revise the curious, ingenious, and entertaining Account given by M. Reaumur , of that inimitable Insect, with his curious Remarks and Reasoning about them; Since he has been indefatigable in his Experiments and Observations about them, as well as of most other Insects, I think it the Duty of every. Person, who has had Time to make any Observations, which may contribute to come at the Truth, and complete his Natural History of lnsects, to throw in his Mite towards it.Keywords
