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)

Art. XI. The Bees ; a Poem, in Four Books ; with Notes, Moral, Political, 
and Philosophical. By John Evans, (Shrewsbury), M.D. F.R. M.S. 
Edin. Book J. 4to. pp. 90. Price 7s. Longman and Co. 
1806.

===== 1808 & 1813 =====


Poetry of the Romantic Period - Page 287  (1900)

John Evans. The Bees …, Book I. (books II and III published in 1808 and 1813 respectively:  pp. 79 in all.)  A didactic extension of Virgil’s Georgics with digressive reflections throughout. 


Very Best Regards,
Joe Waggle
