About this book
New Observations on the Natural History of Bees is presented as translated from the original. The contents list a Letter 1 on the impregnation of the queen bee. The text says that M. de Reaumur thought that the queen's fecundation followed actual copulation. The text reports that a virgin queen, confined to her hive, did not lay a single egg during a month of imprisonment.
The text says that the royal worm passes three days in the egg, and is five a worm. The text says that it is not before the sixteenth day that the perfect state of queen is attained. The dedication says that the translation is inscribed to Sir Joseph Banks, president of the Royal Society of London.
