THE BEES, THE DRONES, AND THE WASP
Some working bees had made their comb in the hollow trunk of an
oak.
The drones said, "We made that comb. It belongs to us."
"You did not make that comb," replied the workers. "You know
very well that you did not. We made it."
The drones answered, "That comb belongs to us and we are going to
have it."
So the workers took the case to Judge Wasp that he might decide
the matter.
The workers and the drones settled down before him. "You workers
and drones," said he, "are so much alike in shape and color that
it is hard to tell which has been seen in the tree. But I think
the matter can be justly decided. Each party may go to a hive in
which there is no honey, and build up a new comb. The one that
makes comb and honey like that found in the tree is the owner of
the tree comb."
"All right," said the workers, "we will do it;" but the drones
said, "We will have nothing to do with such a plan."
So Judge Wasp said, "It is plain to see which of you made the
comb. It belongs to the workers."
The drones buzzed away very angry, but they were not able to harm
the workers or the judge, and the workers went back to their tree.
