Excerpt from The Anatomy of the Honey BeeThus it becomes evident that the structural study of even one organism soon involves us in the subjects of anatomy, physiology. And embryology, and, if we add to this a study Of its senses, its behavior, and its place in nature, the field enlarges without limit. The student of the honey bee realizes that a lifetime might be spent in exploiting this one small insect.The differences between animals are much greater on the outside than on the inside. In the descriptions Of the organs Of the honey bee anyone will know what is meant by the alimentary canal, the nervous system, or the respiratory system, but the external parts are so different from those of animals with which we are more familiarly acquainted that no general reader could be expected to know what is meant by the names applied. Moreover, the bee and its allies are so modified externally in many ways that, at first sight, their parts look very different even from those Of other insects. Hence, we shall give a preliminary account Of the external structure of insects in general, for it is hoped that the reader will then more. Easily understand the special structure of the honey bee, and that the application of the terms used will appear more reasonable to him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
