LatinViaFables.com: I'm continuing to work my way through the 15th-century Latin fables of Abstemius! With each fable I'm posting the Latin text, a segmented Latin text, along with an English translation by me, plus the rollicking 17th-century translation by Sir Roger L'Estrange. Today's fable is one of my favorites: De Urso et Apibus: The Bear and The Bees. This is a fable that also shows up in Barlow's Aesop, so you can see how Barlow depicted the plight of the foolish bear here!
