On The Beauties Harmonies And Sublimities Of Nature Vol 2 Of 3 PDF Download

Excerpt from On the Beauties, Harmonies, and Sublimities of Nature, Vol. 2 of 3: With Notes, Commentaries, and Illustrations; And Occasional Remarks on the Laws, Customs, Habits, and Manners, of Various Nations With bees we may associate Ants, - so variously treated of by Lewenhoek, Swammerdam, Linnaeus, Geoffrey de Geer, Bonnet, Latreille, and Huber. Ants, like bees, are divided into males, females, and neuter; or rather females, who, being barren, from their sexual organs not being developed, are labourers for the benefit of the entire community. Like those of bees, the males and females of ants seem to have no other duties, than just to live and to procreate. The barren ones provide food, construct the habitations, nurture the young, and guard the citadel. In building they exhibit much ingenuity; every one seeming "to follow his own fancy."
