Πεμφρηδὼν δὲ ζῶόν ἐστι τῶν σφηκωδῶν, μεῖζον μὲν μύρμηκος, μελίσσης δ’ ἔλασσον, ἐπτέρωται δὲ καὶ ποικίλην ἔχει λευκῷ καὶ μέλανι τὴν ἐπιφάνειαν, τοῦτο δὲ κατὰ τὴν ὀρεινὴν νεμόμενον δρέπεται ἀπὸ τῶν ἐν τοῖς ἄγκεσι θάμνων παντοῖα ανθη, καὶ φερόμενον εἰς τὰς κοίλας καθίπταται δρῦς. Καὶ αἱ βεμβίδες δὲ τῶν σφηκωδῶν εἰσιν εἶδος μελισσῶν, ἅς ἔνιοι βέμβικας καλοῦσι· ταῦτα δὲ πάντα εἴδη μελισσῶν εἰσιν, ἅ δὴ ἐπινέμεται πεπείρους ὄντας τοὺς βότρυας.
