Abstract
A FEW days ago a friend told me that she had often placed a bee under chloroform, and that the victims when they found they must die invariably brought their stings to their mouths and sucked the little drop of poison into their mouths. She offered to show me the experiment and endeavoured to catch a bee, but failing to do so she caught a wasp, an insect upon which she had not previously experimented in this way, and we both eagerly watched to see if the wasp would behave as the bees had done under the influence of the narcotic.
