The true amazons: or, The monarchy of bees. Being a new discovery and improvement of those wonderful creatures. Wherein is experimentally demonstrated, I. That they are all governed by a queen. II. The amazing beauty and dignity of her person. III. Her extraordinary authority and power. IV. Their exceeding loyalty and unparallel'd love to their queen. V. Their sex, male and female. VI. Their manner of breeding. VII. Their wars. VIII. Their enemies; with directions plain and easy, how to manage them, both in straw-hives and transparent boxes; so that with laying out but four or five pounds, in three or four years, if the summers are kind, you may get thirty or forty pounds per annum. Also, how to make the English wine or mead, equal, if not superior, to the best of other wines. By Joseph Warder of Croydon, physician
