Scientist as a bee Those who have handled science have been either the men of experiment or the men of dogma. The men of experiment are like the ant, they only collect and use; the reasoners resembles the spiders who make cobwebs out of their own substance. But the bee takes a middle course: it gathers its materials from the flowers of the gardens and of the fields, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own. Not unlike this [the bee] is the true business of science: for it neither relies solely or chiefly on the powers of the mind, nor does it take the matter which it gathers from natural history and mechanical experiments and lay it up in the memory as a whole as it finds it. [Rather, science] lays it up in understanding altered and digested. Therefore, from a closer and purer league between the two faculties, experimental and rational … much may be hoped. ”
