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, t>, and 49) andmaxiHae.' 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 worker-bee (Fig. 4), are smaller.
