Joseph Warder (1688-1718), escribió en 1712 el libro denominado: The true Amazons: or, The monarchy of bees. Being a new discovery and improvement of those wonderful creatures ... Also, how to make the English wine or mead. London, Printed by I. Dawks, for and sold by J. Pemberton, 1712. xii, [4], 166 p. 17 cm.
La primera edición de Joseph Warder estaba impresa durante el reinado de la Reina Anne. Dedicado a la nueva reina, el libro no comete ningún error acerca del género del insecto gobernante. Warde escribe que ningún Monarca en el Mundo es tan absoluto como la Reina de las Abejas.
Teniendo relación con un concepto por entonces moderno de exactitud científica, el trabajo de Warde es distinguido por su tratamiento eficaz de la fisiología y sus comentarios sobre manejo de la abeja, e incluso Warden igual que Moses Rusden asegura que los zánganos son meramente hembras que han perdido sus capacidad de picar, mientras escribe que semejante aseveración puede ser fundada tomando un escalpelo y realizando una disección simple.
