Gill's Notes on the Bible

Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler. None to guide and direct her what to do; nor any to overlook her, to see that she does aright, or to oblige her to work, and keep her to it; nor any to call her to an account, and correct her for doing amiss; and nevertheless diligent and industrious, doing everything of herself, by the instinct of nature, readily and willingly: and yet how slothful are men; who, besides the dictates of nature, reason, and conscience, have parents, masters, ministers, and magistrates, to guide, direct, exhort, instruct, and enforce! so Aristotle k says of the ant, that it is

αγαρχος, without any ruler or governor.

k Hist. de Animal. l. 1. c. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The words express the wonder with which the Hebrew observer looked on the phenomena of insect life. “Guide,” better captain, as in Joshua 10:24. The Septuagint introduces here a corresponding reference to the industry of the bee.
