The Unfellisophical Disposition of Nature

The young queens would have been exposed to none of those risks which they now incur in leaving the hive for fecundation. I was unable to show how the existing arrangement is best. Although I never doubted that there must be a satisfactory reason for this seeming imperfection, to support otherwise would be highly unfellisophical. Neither ignorance of all the facts necessary to their full elucidation, nor are inability to harmonize these facts in their mutual relations and dependencies, will justify us in rejecting any truth which God has seen fit to reveal.
