Synopsis
This Devry educational short for the Museum of Natural History covers the honey bee, the field spider, and the trap door spider. Of course, it covers some of the basic knowledge that Pliny the Elder wrote about more than 2,000 years ago, and little more; there are only a few minutes of film here.

Another early silent classroom film, this one about bees and spiders. Beekeepers show us how bees live in the hive, get food, and reproduce. And, oh, did I say that animals are always fun to watch? Not spiders—they’re creepy. Though they do hold your attention. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: **. Weirdness: ***. Historical Interest: ***. Overall Rating: ***.
