Hi to all on BEE-L
 Adrian Wenner said Thomas Nutt was saying what Reamure
said. According to MArtin Hall Thomas WIldman was also
quoting Reamure, but also Maraldi. So Nutt and Wildman were
quoting the same source but  giving different figures.

Something is not right here then, something must be
mismatching somewhere!

Was Adrian giving correct quote? Had Nutt got it right? HAd
he understood maybe as Allen Dick suggested that the French
way if measureing should have been in MM?

ANy way Wildman's figures is more in line with Cowan's
figures from my 1904 book, The Honey Bee, It's Natural
History Anatomy, and Physiology (also by the way, named
Thomas as the other two).

Regards,

Dee A. Lusby
