I would be really, really grateful if someone could help me with the following:
Miraris arte conditas mira domos,
Opesque regales in his reconditas?
Solertia et labore siunt omnia.
It appears as an epigram to a symbolic representation of a beehive as a well ordered kingdom in a seventeenth century book published in England. I’ve managed to decipher the other phrases on the image
SOLERTIA ET LABORE
roughly as sagacity/prudence and labour, and
SOCORDIAM LUIMUS
roughly as “laziness is to be banished.”
The image in question can be found here. Anyone able to assist me will receive full credit in my dissertation and any subsequent publications.

roughly, the text can be translated as:
‘do you wonder by what strange art were these houses founded,
or royal possesions in them were stored?
everything – by ability and hard work’
