An Idyl of The Honey-Bee
by John Burroughs
He said he kept no bees, but that a swarm had taken possession of his chimney, and another had gone under the clapboards in the gable end of
his house. He had taken a large lot of honey out of both places the year before. Another farmer told me that one day his family had seen a
number of bees examining a knothole in the side of his house; the next day, as they were sitting down to dinner, their attention was attracted by
a loud humming noise, when they discovered a swarm of bees settling upon the side of the house and pouring into the knothole. In subsequent
years other swarms came to the same place.
Apparently every swarm of bees, before it leaves the parent hive, sends out exploring parties to look up the future home. The woods and groves
are searched through and through, and no doubt the privacy of many a squirrel and many a wood-mouse is intruded upon. What cozy nooks
and retreats they do spy out, so much more attractive than the painted hive in the garden, so much cooler in summer and so much warmer in
winter!
