Nenroptera, Diagon-fly, etc. ORDER HYMENOPTERA. General Characteristics.—The Hymenopters (mem- brane-winged) have the wings coarsely veined and the ante- rior pair hooked to the posterior in flight. The females have stings, or ovijMsitors, and the social instinct is highly developed. Apidae.—Honey-bees are of three sorts—queens (females), drones (males), and workers (imperfectly-developed females). ng. sss. Fig. S6h. Fig. Drone. Worker. In each swarm is one queen, which lays the eggs in three broods: the first producing workers ; the second, drones; and the third, queens. The drones are the idlers, and are killed by the workers after the pairing season. The workers an' the laborers; some being wax-producers; others, builders; and others, imrses.
