hive_n so_o that_o they_o will_v be_v in_o danger_n to_o die_v although_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v drive_v and_o especial_o if_o they_o be_v of_o any_o great_a age_n petralba_n how_o long_o do_v you_o think_v the_o bee_n in_o a_o hive_n will_v continue_v and_o live_v if_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v drive_v at_o all_o but_o to_o let_v they_o alone_o as_o long_o as_o they_o live_v tortona_n how_o long_o the_o bee_n in_o a_o hive_n will_v continue_v and_o live_v i_o hold_v a_o very_a uncertain_a thing_n to_o affirm_v although_o i_o know_v that_o many_o have_v set_v down_o their_o opinion_n concern_v the_o same_o with_o great_a variety_n and_o weakness_n of_o judgement_n which_o i_o listen_v not_o to_o stand_v about_o to_o confute_v nor_o do_v i_o think_v it_o necessary_a only_o this_o i_o say_v that_o no_o man_n can_v judge_v by_o the_o time_n a_o bee_n will_v live_v although_o the_o time_n be_v certain_o know_v which_o i_o think_v no_o man_n can_v just_o determine_v how_o long_o a_o hive_n will_v continue_v with_o bee_n in_o it_o because_o all_o experience_n do_v teach_v that_o bee_n be_v every_o year_n daily_o renew_v in_o the_o summer_n time_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o rule_n they_o pretend_v to_o go_v by_o but_o i_o think_v rather_o that_o this_o thing_n must_v be_v know_v by_o the_o time_n that_o bee_n will_v like_v and_o prosper_v in_o a_o hive_n among_o their_o old_a comb_n which_o with_o continuance_n will_v as_o i_o say_v before_o become_v black_a and_o unsavoury_a and_o that_o will_v be_v soon_o or_o late_a as_o the_o bee_n stand_v to_o health_n and_o the_o year_n happen_v to_o prove_v good_a or_o evil_n for_o they_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v advise_v no_o man_n to_o make_v trial_n of_o this_o matter_n except_o he_o like_v better_o of_o curiosity_n than_o profit_n myself_o do_v not_o ordinary_o suffer_v any_o to_o stand_v above_o three_o four_o or_o five_o year_n at_o the_o most_o for_o if_o i_o see_v a_o hive_n like_o well_o and_o that_o do_v cast_v i_o a_o swarm_v every_o year_n i_o let_v it_o stand_v the_o long_o whereas_o otherwise_o i_o drive_v it_o the_o soon_o especial_o if_o it_o cast_v i_o no_o swarm_n in_o the_o two_o first_o year_n but_o then_o i_o only_o change_v it_o into_o another_o hive_n about_o the_o begin_n of_o july_n and_o save_v the_o bee_n to_o see_v if_o they_o will_v do_v better_o in_o another_o hive_n petralba_n mr._n googe_n do_v keep_v a_o great_a ado_n concern_v the_o gelding_n of_o bee_n as_o he_o call_v it_o and_o the_o proportion_n that_o he_o think_v fit_a to_o leave_v in_o the_o hive_n for_o the_o bee_n and_o i_o conceive_v his_o meaning_n to_o be_v to_o take_v from_o every_o hive_n some_o part_n and_o to_o leave_v they_o sufficient_a to_o keep_v they_o in_o the_o winter_n and_o so_o by_o this_o mean_n do_v not_o altogether_o drive_v or_o kill_v any_o at_o all_o if_o it_o will_v perform_v that_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v a_o very_a good_a way_n yet_o do_v i_o not_o remember_v that_o ever_o i_o have_v hard_a it_o so_o much_o as_o speak_v of_o in_o this_o country_n what_o do_v you_o think_v of_o it_o tortona_n marry_o sir_n i_o think_v it_o a_o very_a good_a way_n for_o those_o that_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v rid_v of_o their_o bee_n for_o let_v any_o man_n that_o have_v be_v accustom_v among_o bee_n consider_v how_o this_o thing_n can_v be_v do_v without_o great_a trouble_n hurt_n or_o danger_n to_o the_o bee_n and_o also_o much_o loss_n of_o their_o honey_n and_o therefore_o i_o never_o know_v any_o so_o absurd_a to_o practice_v that_o way_n that_o ever_o i_o can_v hear_v of_o for_o which_o cause_n i_o will_v not_o trouble_v myself_o to_o confute_v it_o as_o palpable_a enough_o to_o all_o man_n of_o any_o understanding_n or_o knowledge_n petralba_n in_o what_o manner_n do_v you_o use_v your_o bee_n when_o you_o drive_v they_o do_v you_o burn_v they_o or_o drown_v they_o for_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o some_o that_o use_v the_o one_o way_n and_o some_o the_o other_o but_o whether_o be_v best_a i_o know_v not_o tortona_n i_o make_v no_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o one_o way_n or_o the_o other_o whether_o be_v the_o better_a but_o my_o manner_n of_o drive_v my_o hive_n and_o kill_v of_o my_o bee_n be_v in_o this_o sort_n when_o i_o purpose_v to_o drive_v any_o hive_n i_o take_v a_o empty_a hive_n and_o stick_v it_o like_a as_o i_o have_v teach_v to_o put_v in_o aswarm_o and_o then_o with_o a_o sheet_n put_v about_o it_o and_o the_o hive_n i_o purpose_v to_o drive_v use_v it_o as_o the_o common_a manner_n be_v in_o drive_v of_o hive_n the_o order_n and_o manner_n whereof_o be_v so_o well_o know_v almost_o to_o every_o man_n that_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v as_o i_o think_v to_o make_v any_o further_a speech_n thereof_o but_o when_o i_o have_v drive_v the_o bee_n as_o clean_o as_o i_o can_v out_o of_o the_o hive_n where_o they_o be_v into_o the_o empty_a one_o i_o set_v up_o the_o same_o in_o the_o place_n where_o the_o other_o hive_n stand_v until_o it_o be_v good_a and_o late_a in_o the_o night_n and_o that_o i_o have_v take_v the_o honey_n out_o of_o the_o hive_n that_o i_o have_v drive_v by_o which_o time_n the_o bee_n will_v all_o be_v go_v close_o up_o together_o into_o the_o top_n of_o the_o hive_n then_o i_o take_v it_o from_o the_o place_n again_o gentle_o and_o carry_v it_o to_o some_o plain_a place_n make_v of_o purpose_n and_o with_o my_o hand_n stamp_v the_o hive_n hard_o upon_o the_o place_n and_o so_o all_o the_o bee_n will_v fall_v out_o then_o have_v i_o ready_a a_o broad_a board_n which_o i_o present_o lie_v upon_o they_o and_o tread_v upon_o it_o and_o so_o present_o kill_v they_o all_o that_o none_o escape_v whereas_o in_o the_o burn_a or_o drown_v of_o they_o or_o any_o other_o way_n that_o ever_o i_o can_v see_v many_o get_v away_o and_o trouble_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o bee_n petralba_n i_o think_v it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o drive_v any_o hive_n until_o night_n because_o of_o trouble_v the_o bee_n and_o to_o avoid_v the_o danger_n of_o sting_a which_o must_v needs_o happen_v in_o the_o day_n time_n tortona_n for_o i_o own_o part_n i_o seldom_o or_o never_o drive_v any_o until_o somewhat_o late_a in_o the_o evening_n yet_o i_o have_v see_v some_o drive_v hive_n at_o noon_n day_n and_o when_o it_o be_v rainy_a it_o may_v reasonable_o well_o be_v do_v yet_o as_o i_o say_v i_o do_v hold_v the_o evening_n best_a and_o least_o troublesome_a and_o when_o i_o drive_v three_o or_o four_o in_o a_o night_n as_o sometime_o i_o do_v it_o be_v but_o sit_v up_o so_o much_o the_o long_o petralba_n when_o you_o drive_v such_o hive_n as_o be_v hoist_v and_o raise_v up_o with_o brickbat_n or_o such_o other_o thing_n which_o of_o necessity_n you_o must_v take_v away_o when_o you_o drive_v they_o how_o do_v you_o make_v the_o hive_n agree_v and_o fit_v well_o together_o that_o the_o bee_n may_v go_v well_o out_o of_o the_o one_o hive_n into_o the_o other_o because_o the_o comb_n will_v be_v long_o than_o the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o hive_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v come_v near_o or_o go_v close_o to_o the_o other_o hive_n tortona_n for_o the_o avoid_n of_o that_o inconvenience_n which_o will_v be_v troublesome_a i_o confess_v you_o must_v do_v thus_o let_v your_o hive_n into_o which_o you_o will_v drive_v your_o bee_n be_v somewhat_o broad_a than_o the_o hive_n you_o drive_v and_o then_o the_o end_n of_o the_o comb_n will_v go_v into_o it_o and_o you_o shall_v drive_v the_o bee_n into_o it_o without_o any_o trouble_n or_o inconvenience_n at_o all_o more_o than_o if_o the_o hive_n be_v not_o hoist_v at_o all_o petralba_n after_o what_o manner_n do_v you_o order_v your_o honey_n for_o if_o i_o be_v not_o deceive_v i_o have_v see_v much_o better_a honey_n in_o some_o place_n than_o in_o other_o some_o but_o whether_o the_o cause_n have_v be_v in_o the_o use_n of_o it_o in_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o place_n

any_o of_o these_o three_o cause_n may_v work_v some_o effect_n in_o the_o goodness_n of_o honey_n yet_o do_v i_o hold_v the_o well_o order_v of_o it_o to_o be_v a_o great_a and_o principal_a cause_n
