BEES' NESTS.

A French journal says, in the woods of Brazil is frequently found hanging

from the branches the nest of a species of bee, formed of clay, and about

two feet in diameter. It is more probable that these nests belong to some

species of wasp, many of which construct hanging nests. One sort of these

is very common in the northern parts of Britain, though it is not often

found south of Yorkshire.
