  1. drone (male bee)
    • 14th century, Hradecký rukopis:
      Vizte, kak jste smyslem hlúpi,
      že činíte jako trúpi:
      Trúp zjiedá cuzé úsilé,
      libo málo, libo velé;
      a když sě léto skonává,
      tehdy sě zle trúpóm stává,
      že jě včely ven vypudie,
      s sobú bydliti nedadie.
