Hive

Famous quotes containing the word hive:

“the child unlucky in his little State,
Some hearth where freedom is excluded,
A hive whose honey is fear and worry,
Feels calmer now and somehow assured of escape;”

The duckes cryden as men would them quell;
The geese for feare flewen over the trees;
Out of the hive came the swarm of bees.”

“If the hive be disturbed by rash and stupid hands, instead of honey, it will yield us bees.”
