Hello,
I know now that Evans poem, ‘the bees’, was published in 3 parts, with the 4th part missing.
I have located references indicating the publish dates.
Part one may have been published in 1806
Part two in 1808
Part three in 1813
==== 1806 =====
The Eclectic review. vol. 1-New [8th] - Page 69 (1807)

and Philosophical. By John Evans, (Shrewsbury), M.D. F.R. M.S.

1806.
===== 1808 & 1813 =====
