A57915	A full discovery of bees Treating of the nature, government, generation & preservation of the bee. With the experiments and improvements, arising from the keeping them in transparent boxes, instead of straw-hives. Also proper directions (to all such as keep bees) as well to prevent their robbing in straw-hives, as their killing in the colonies.The second edition, by Moses Rusden, an apothecary; bee-master to the King's most excellent Majesty. Published by His Majesties especial command, and approved by the Royal Society at Gresham Coll.	Rusden, Moses.; Millton, Henry, engraver.	1685 (1685)	Wing R2312; ESTC R218543	73,763	168

its_o self_n in_o the_o certainty_n of_o their_o preservation_n against_o two_o of_o the_o chief_a and_o most_o considerable_a occasion_n of_o the_o destruction_n of_o bee_n viz._n cold_a and_o hunger_n for_o whereas_o be_v keep_v in_o straw-hive_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o cold_a for_o want_v of_o number_n to_o keep_v they_o warm_v in_o winter_n and_o hunger_n for_o want_v of_o food_n to_o

be_v whole_o deliver_v from_o those_o two_o occasion_n of_o their_o ruin_n from_o cold_a because_o the_o bee_n be_v all_o left_a and_o so_o have_v their_o full_a number_n whereby_o they_o keep_v one_o another_o the_o warm_a in_o cold_a weather_n and_o in_o the_o spring_n what_o else_o can_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o bee_n in_o russia_n poland_n new-england_n &c._n &c._n where_o the_o weather_n be_v so_o extreme_a cold_n in_o winter_n do_v live_v and_o thrive_v better_o than_o in_o england_n but_o because_o they_o be_v in_o great_a number_n and_o lie_v in_o a_o round_a form_n and_o close_a body_n keep_v out_o the_o cold_a from_o they_o and_o the_o cause_n why_o they_o increase_v more_o and_o fast_o in_o the_o spring_n and_o summer_n in_o those_o country_n than_o in_o england_n and_o consequent_o thrive_v better_a be_v because_o both_o spring_n and_o summer_n in_o those_o place_n be_v more_o serene_a and_o constant_a than_o with_o we_o from_o hunger_n because_o they_o have_v food_n sufficient_a leave_v they_o and_o to_o spare_v in_o the_o middle_a box_n if_o the_o owner_n themselves_o will_v but_o due_o observe_v the_o direction_n in_o the_o 15_o chapter_n of_o this_o section_n beside_o what_o i_o have_v mention_v the_o profit_n appear_v to_o be_v more_o than_o double_a both_o by_o reason_n and_o experience_n thus_o as_o three_o cord_n unite_v by_o twist_v

alone_o be_v so_o in_o a_o colony_n the_o strength_n of_o a_o stock_n a_o swarm_n and_o a_o cast_n be_v unite_v together_o whereby_o the_o colony_n have_v the_o strength_n of_o all_o which_o strength_n consist_v in_o number_n and_o be_v unite_v they_o have_v more_o than_o a_o double_a advantage_n in_o work_v and_o gather_v honey_n for_o whereas_o the_o strength_n of_o a_o stock_n be_v divide_v by_o spare_v a_o swarm_n their_o interest_n by_o their_o interest_n i_o mean_v their_o grow_a strength_n by_o the_o brood_n of_o young_a as_o well_o as_o riches_n and_o present_a strength_n do_v thereby_o become_v different_a and_o separate_a whilst_o the_o colony_n bee_n be_v undivided_a in_o their_o interest_n lose_v no_o time_n do_v follow_v and_o improve_v that_o their_o advantage_n by_o natural_a industry_n which_o advantage_n of_o colonies_n have_v appear_v to_o be_v treble_a in_o honey-dew_n by_o this_o example_n follow_v which_o i_o can_v bring_v testimony_n of_o to_o any_o that_o desire_v it_o by_o those_o who_o see_v it_o upon_o the_o 21._o day_n of_o june_n 1677_o a_o colony_n be_v weigh_v who_o weight_n be_v just_a 55_o pound_n and_o the_o same_o colony_n be_v weigh_v again_o upon_o the_o 28._o day_n of_o the_o same_o june_n and_o then_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o colony_n be_v 85_o pound_n so_o that_o in_o those_o seven_o day_n the_o colony_n gather_v 30._o pound_n of_o honey_n which_o we_o see_v by_o the_o white_a plaster_v upon_o the_o comb_n at_o all_o the_o window_n and_o in_o the_o same_o space_n of_o time_n a_o stock_n or_o swarm_n seldom_o can_v add_v above_o five_o or_o six_o pound_n weight_n to_o themselves_o the_o reason_n of_o which_o great_a advantage_n to_o the_o colony_n be_v their_o be_v unite_v because_o at_o such_o a_o time_n the_o colony_n have_v but_o one_o brood_n of_o young-bee_n can_v spare_v all_o to_o work_v except_o their_o drone_n which_o then_o keep_v their_o young_a brood_n warm_a but_o the_o stock_n and_o swarm_n have_v each_o of_o they_o a_o young_a brood_n at_o home_n when_o the_o harvest_n of_o honey-dew_n come_v they_o be_v separate_a can_v spare_v half_o so_o many_o labourer_n in_o proportion_n as_o the_o colony_n can_v and_o do_v a_o stock_n can_v spare_v his_o proportion_n because_o most_o go_v away_o with_o the_o swarm_n and_o the_o swarm_n though_o he_o have_v a_o competent_a strength_n yet_o many_o time_n have_v not_o comb_n in_o readiness_n to_o put_v their_o honey_n in_o and_o when_o he_o have_v some_o comb_n they_o be_v present_o so_o fill_v with_o the_o young_a brood_n which_o must_v be_v keep_v in_o a_o constant_a heat_n by_o the_o bee_n that_o they_o also_o can_v spare_v a_o proportion_n in_o number_n comparable_a to_o the_o colony_n moreover_o in_o bad_a weather_n the_o colony_n bee_n be_v not_o force_v to_o go_v abroad_o as_o oftentimes_o swarm_n be_v through_o want_n of_o comb_n etc._n etc._n which_o i_o have_v know_v to_o that_o degree_n in_o wet_a weather_n that_o a_o swarm_n have_v lose_v above_o half_a the_o number_n of_o his_o bee_n further_o to_o show_v that_o the_o profit_n of_o keep_v bee_n in_o colonies_n be_v more_o than_o double_a the_o profit_n of_o keep_v they_o in_o straw-hive_n only_o i_o shall_v now_o demonstrate_v by_o comparison_n thus_o if_o the_o honey_n take_v from_o a_o colony_n in_o one_o year_n be_v more_o in_o quantity_n than_o the_o honey_n take_v from_o a_o stock_n and_o a_o swarm_n and_o if_o the_o colony_n leave_v be_v as_o good_a and_o better_a than_o the_o box_n take_v off_o then_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o any_o man_n will_v grant_v with_o i_o the_o profit_n to_o be_v more_o than_o double_a because_o there_o be_v as_o much_o or_o
