Bees
in
the
Hive
I
am
going
to
ask
you
to
visit
with
me
to-day
one
of
the
most
wonderful
cities
with
no
human
beings
in
it,
and
yet
it
is
densely
populated,
for
such
a
city
may
contain
from
twenty
thousand
to
sixty
thousand
inhabitants.
In
it
you
will
find
streets,
but
no
pavements,
for
the
inhabitants
walk
along
the
walls
of
the
houses;
while
in
the
houses
you
will
see
no
windows,
for
each
house
just
fits
its
owner,
and
the
door
is
the
only
opening
in
it.
Though
made
without
hands
these
houses
are
most
evenly
and
regularly
built
in
tiers
one
above
the
other;
and
here
and
there
a
few
royal
palaces,
larger
and
more
spacious
than
the
rest,
catch
the
eye
conspicuously
as
they
stand
out
at
the
corners
of
the
streets.
Some
of
the
ordinary
houses
are
used
to
live
in,
while
others
serve
as
storehouses
where
food
is
laid
up
in
the
summer
to
feed
the
inhabitants
during
the
winter,
when
they
are
not
allowed
to
go
outside
the
walls.
Not
that
the
gates
are
ever
shut:
that
is
not
necessary,
for
in
this
wonderful
city
each
citizen
follows
the
laws;
going
out
when
it
is
time
to
go
out,
coming
home
at
proper
hours,
and
staying
at
home
when
it
is
his
or
her
duty.
And
in
the
winter,
when
it
is
very
cold
outside,
the
inhabitants,
having
no
fires,
keep
themselves
warm
within
the
city
by
clustering
together,
and
never
venturing
out
of
doors.
