1 灵邱丈人:
灵邱之丈人善养蜂,岁收蜜数百斛,蜡称之,于是其富比封君焉。丈人卒,其子继之,未期月,蜂有举族去者,弗恤也。岁馀去且半,又岁馀尽去,其家遂贫。陶朱公之齐,过而问焉,曰:“是何昔者之熇熇,而今日之凉凉也?”其邻之叟对曰:“以蜂。”请问其故,对曰:“昔者丈人之养蜂也,园有庐,庐有守,刳木以为蜂之宫,不罅不庮。其置也疏密有行,新旧有次,坐有方,牖有乡,五五为伍,一人司之。视其生息,调其暄寒,巩其构架,时其墐发,蕃则从之析之,寡则与之裒之,不使有二王也。去其蛛蟊、蚍蜉,弥其土蜂、蝇豹。夏不烈日,冬不凝澌,飘风吹而不摇,淋雨沃而不渍。其取蜜也,分其赢而已矣,不竭其力也。于是故者安,新者息,丈人不出户而收其利。今其子则不然矣。园庐不葺,污秽不治,燥湿不调,启闭无节,居处臲卼,出入障碍,而蜂不乐其居矣。及其久也,蛄蟴同其房而不知,蝼蚁钻其室而不禁,鹩刁鸟掠之于白日,狐狸窃之于昏夜,莫之察也,取蜜而已,又焉得不凉凉也哉?”陶朱公曰:“噫!二三子识之,为国有民者可以鉴矣。”
