The outer membrane (Fig. 41) appears cellular when magnified, and shows the micropyle at the larger end (Fig. 41, B, m). The possession of the ovaries and attendant organs is the chief structural peculiarity which marks the queen, as these are the characteristic marks of females among all ani- mals.

The queen's mouth organs are developed to a less degree than are those of the worker-bees. Her jaws (Fig. 65, b) or mandibles are weaker, with a rudimentary tooth, and her tongue or ligula (Fig. 42, a, and 49), as also the labial palpi (Fig. 42, b, and 49) and maxillae, are considerably shorter. Of the four pairs of glands (Fig. 59) so elegantly figured, and so well described by Schiemenz, the queen has the first pair very rudimentary, and the others well developed. The fourth pair, or Wolff's glands, are much larger than in the worker-bees. Her eyes, though like, yet hardly as large as the same in the worjcer-bee (Fig. 4), are smaller.
