Illustrated: Apes, Fur, et Mellarius
679. Apes, Fur, et Mellarius. Cum forte abesset apium dominus, ingressus apiarium fur exsecuit favos et alvearia compilavit.

Interea redeunt apiculae de pastu et in illum infestae involant, pungentesque aculeis suis pessime accipiunt hominem qui, iratus, “Sceleratae,” inquit, “animantes! Furem dimisistis intactum; me vero curatorem vestrum affligitis.”
