Sealing or capping takes place when the larvae have finished feeding. An insight into the machine-like instinctive activities and fixed habits of the hive bee may be obtained from the following records of Dallas Lore Sharp: '' In bee-civilization the state is everything, the individual nothing. Each one exists for no one. The individual is born to serve, and the moment he (she) ceases to serve, that moment he (she) dies—worker, or drone, or queen, even the unborn young in their cradle cells. For let hard times come knocking at the door, with more baby mouths to feed than there are stores to feed them from, and the tender young are torn from their warm beds and hurried to the outer cold. Let the last virgin queen of the season be mated and not only does that drone perish in the act, but all the drones in the hive no longer needed are bundled, bag and baggage, outside, to fumble for one pathetic moment.
