Abstract
THE American Quarterly Microscopical Journal, published last October in New York, contains an elaborate article on “The Sting of the Honey Bee”, by J. D. Hyatt. Mr. Hyatt's experience does not tally with that of your correspondent, R. A. He says: “By allowing the bee to sting a soft piece of leather an excellent opportunity is offered for studying the action and mechanism, for the whole apparatus will be beautifully dissected, the bee not appearing to be seriously injured by the loss.” I should be happy to send the journal to R. A. if I knew his address.
