the_o best_a time_n to_o remove_v they_o be_v as_o soon_o as_o may_v be_v after_o they_o be_v swarm_v and_o concern_v the_o fit_a place_n to_o set_v they_o in_o you_o be_v well_o inform_v in_o your_o

and_o hate_v the_o contrary_a again_o it_o be_v good_a they_o have_v the_o south_n and_o west_n sun_n open_a unto_o they_o but_o if_o they_o be_v defend_v from_o the_o east_n and_o north_n it_o be_v

because_o they_o will_v be_v the_o more_o subject_a to_o storm_n and_o wind_n which_o be_v very_o hurtful_a and_o perilous_a for_o they_o and_o do_v exceed_o hinder_v they_o in_o their_o labour_n petralba_n master_n googe_n say_v that_o the_o place_n of_o their_o stand_n will_v neither_o be_v to_o hot_a nor_o to_o cold_a but_o as_o temperate_a as_o may_v be_v so_o as_o they_o be_v neither_o

that_o i_o have_v read_v and_o first_o to_o begin_v with_o all_o i_o will_v have_v every_o hive_n place_v upon_o a_o several_a plank_n board_n or_o stone_n within_o two_o foot_n of_o the_o ground_n at_o the_o most_o for_o so_o the_o wind_n will_v have_v the_o less_o power_n over_o they_o at_o the_o entrance_n into_o the_o hive_n and_o the_o plank_n board_n or_o stone_n whereupon_o the_o hive_n stand_v must_v be_v some_o three_o or_o four_o inch_n at_o the_o least_o broad_a than_o the_o hive_n on_o the_o south_n part_n where_o the_o hole_n or_o mouth_n of_o the_o hive_n must_v be_v for_o so_o the_o bee_n shall_v have_v room_n to_o light_v upon_o it_o before_o they_o creep_v into_o the_o hive_n and_o i_o hold_v it_o best_o that_o the_o south_n part_n of_o the_o plank_n board_n or_o stone_n shall_v stand_v somewhat_o low_a than_o the_o north_n part_n for_o by_o that_o mean_v no_o water_n snow_n or_o hail_n can_v run_v into_o the_o hive_n but_o will_v present_o fall_v off_o again_o as_o it_o melt_v last_o let_v the_o upper_a part_n of_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o hive_n be_v but_o a_o little_a distance_n from_o the_o board_n least_o snail_n mouse_n or_o some_o other_o vermin_n creep_v in_o to_o the_o great_a danger_n and_o hurt_n of_o the_o bee_n nevertheless_o you_o may_v let_v it_o be_v some_o three_o or_o four_o inch_n broad_a in_o the_o summer_n time_n or_o else_o they_o will_v want_v convenient_a room_n to_o go_v in_o and_o out_o at_o their_o pleasure_n but_o round_o about_o the_o hive_n except_o at_o the_o mouth_n let_v the_o hive_n be_v daub_v up_o close_o with_o clay_n cowdung_n or_o mortar_n or_o rather_o a_o mixture_n of_o the_o two_o former_a with_o ash_n or_o sand._n petralba_n in_o every_o place_n where_o i_o travail_v except_o with_o you_o i_o see_v they_o set_v upon_o a_o plank_n or_o board_n almost_o close_a one_o to_o another_o wherefore_o then_o shall_v you_o place_v every_o one_o upon_o a_o several_a board_n which_o as_o i_o

time_n there_o do_v second_o they_o will_v be_v the_o more_o ready_a to_o run_v one_o to_o another_o and_o fight_v and_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o weak_a be_v often_o oppress_v by_o the_o strong_a again_o their_o nearness_n will_v hinder_v one_o another_o in_o swarm_a time_n and_o when_o they_o do_v labour_n much_o and_o last_o their_o coat_n can_v be_v take_v off_o and_o on_o as_o occasion_n shall_v serve_v and_o whereas_o you_o object_n that_o it_o will_v spend_v more_o plank_n and_o board_n that_o be_v not_o so_o for_o the_o plank_n or_o board_n need_v be_v no_o long_o than_o the_o
