It also probably aids in modifying the sugar while the nectar is in the bee's stomach, and, as I have shown elsewhere, in push- ing out the tongue. This is done by crowding the liquid into the closed tubular sheath (Fig. 22, C, S). The jaws (Fig. 24, c) are very strong, without the rudimen- tary tooth, while the cutting edge is semi-conical, so that when the jaws are closed they form an imperfect cone.

Thus these are well formed to cut comb, knead wax, and perform their various functions. Their eyes (Fig. 5) are like those of the queen, while their wings, like those of the drones, attain the end of the body. These organs (Fig. 3), as in all insects with rapid flight, are slim and strong, and, by their more or less rapid vibrations, give the variety of tone which characterizes their hum. Thus we have the rapid movements and high pitch of anger, and the slow motion and mellow note of con- tent and joy.
