Hay otra manera de abejas que llaman pipiyoli. Son menores que las ya dichas. También hacen cuevas para hacer su miel. Hacen miel muy amarilla. Es buena de comer.
\nHay otras abejas que llaman mimiáhuatl. Hacen miel en los árboles. Hacen una caxa a manera de alquitara, y dentro hacen sus panales, y hínchenlos de miel. No engendran como los otros animales, sino dentro de los panales hacen sus hijos, como gusanillos blancos. Hayían [sic] como las abejas de Castillan. Hacen muy buena miel.
