Excerpt from The Bee-Keeper's Directory, or the Theory and Practice of Bee Culture, in All Its Departments: The Result of Eighteen Years Personal Study of Their Habits and Instincts In' the absence of historical data concerning the origin and history of the honey bee, we are compelled to rely upon well known collateral facts, and the inevitable deductions of anal ogy; yet these often constitute evidence as strong, and produce convictions as clear as the most direct and positive testimony. Should we assume that this most useful and exemplary insect was among the Living Creatures made by Deity prior to the creation of man, the following arguments come to Our sup port, unbidden as sidereal luminaries to the relief of night clear as a vernal stream, leaping from its snowy source, down the mountain's side - resistless as the ocean's swelling surges.
