raise_v or_o set_v up_o with_o two_o stone_n or_o stick_n two_o or_o three_o inch_n high_a for_o the_o bee_n to_o go_v in_o and_o out_o and_o if_o any_o remain_v behind_o or_o fly_v up_o and_o sit_v there_o again_o then_o fetch_v they_o down_o in_o a_o empty_a hive_n and_o knock_v they_o down_o on_o the_o board_n or_o cloth_n and_o so_o will_v they_o run_v to_o their_o fellow_n and_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o remember_v careful_o to_o look_v for_o a_o queen_n if_o it_o be_v hot_a weather_n when_o you_o hive_n your_o bee_n then_o remember_v to_o cover_v or_o shade_v the_o hive_n with_o bough_n else_o they_o will_v rise_v &_o fly_v away_o then_o at_o night_n when_o they_o be_v all_o within_o the_o hive_n carry_v the_o swarm_n to_o the_o place_n appoint_v for_o they_o to_o stand_v in_o but_o set_v they_o not_o too_o near_o any_o new-hived_n swarm_n nor_o yet_o near_o the_o old_a stock_n from_o whence_o they_o come_v for_o fear_v they_o creep_v together_o now_o if_o you_o chance_v to_o observe_v two_o forward_a or_o great_a swarm_n come_v out_o together_o stop_v up_o one_o stock_n with_o a_o fine_a linen_n cloth_n or_o grass_n till_o the_o other_o be_v hive_v asunder_o what_o swarm_v to_o keep_v asunder_o about_o which_o you_o must_v be_v quick_a then_o open_a the_o other_o and_o let_v it_o out_o and_o cover_v the_o first_o hive_v or_o settle_v swarm_n by_o hang_v a_o cloth_n over_o it_o for_o twenty_o to_o one_o if_o the_o latter_a rise_v swarm_n see_v or_o hear_v the_o first_o but_o it_o will_v to_o it_o but_o now_o if_o two_o little_a swarm_n or_o late_o in_o the_o year_n unite_v and_o what_o to_o unite_v rise_v and_o go_v together_o that_o be_v best_a of_o all_o so_o that_o they_o agree_v and_o do_v not_o fight_v yea_o if_o they_o go_v not_o together_o it_o be_v best_o to_o put_v they_o together_o which_o you_o may_v do_v after_o this_o manner_n when_o they_o be_v both_o hive_v take_v the_o first_o and_o set_v it_o on_o a_o board_n and_o spread_v a_o clean_a cloth_n upon_o the_o board_n if_o the_o board_n be_v not_o broad_a enough_o and_o knock_v the_o last_o swarm_n down_o on_o the_o end_n of_o the_o board_n by_o the_o first_o which_o be_v set_v up_o two_o or_o three_o inch_n on_o the_o side_n next_o to_o that_o which_o you_o have_v knock_v down_o they_o will_v of_o themselves_o run_v to_o the_o other_o swarm_n and_o in_o their_o run_v up_o to_o the_o other_o swarm_n you_o may_v see_v the_o queen_n which_o you_o must_v take_v away_o she_o will_v not_o sting_v and_o you_o may_v put_v she_o into_o the_o stock_n which_o she_o come_v from_o unless_o you_o have_v any_o other_o swarm_n or_o stock_n which_o want_v a_o queen_n unto_o which_o you_o may_v put_v she_o thus_o you_o may_v unite_v swarm_n and_o so_o you_o shall_v have_v none_o little_a or_o poor_a but_o if_o notwithstanding_o all_o your_o care_n two_o great_a or_o forward_a swarm_n do_v go_v together_o which_o you_o think_v be_v too_o big_a for_o a_o competent_a number_n be_v the_o best_a you_o may_v divide_v or_o part_v they_o thus_o first_o still_o the_o bee_n with_o smoke_n as_o be_v before_o show_v together_o how_o to_o divide_v great_a swarm_n that_o be_v go_v together_o then_o have_v another_o hive_n ready_o trime_v and_o dress_v set_v it_o by_o upon_o a_o board_n teel_v or_o set_v up_o a_o little_a on_o one_o side_n then_o beat_v or_o knock_v down_o some_o of_o the_o bee_n where_o two_o be_v go_v together_o and_o in_o run_v or_o go_v to_o the_o empty_a hive_n one_o queen_n will_v be_v find_v which_o you_o must_v put_v to_o the_o empty_a hive_n and_o knock_v bee_n out_o of_o the_o other_o till_o you_o have_v a_o competent_a number_n but_o be_v very_o careful_a that_o the_o queen_n be_v divide_v too_o or_o else_o the_o commons_o will_v together_o again_o or_o perish_v for_o want_n of_o a_o queen_n swarm_n the_o cause_n of_o fight_v among_o swarm_n thus_o also_o you_o may_v make_v to_o agree_v two_o little_a swarm_n which_o go_v together_o or_o be_v put_v together_o by_o take_v away_o one_o queen_n and_o make_v they_o leave_v fight_v which_o otherwise_o will_v dis-agree_a for_o if_o there_o be_v fight_v or_o distraction_n among_o swarm_n it_o be_v for_o want_v of_o a_o queen_n or_o have_v two_o queen_n they_o will_v strive_v which_o shall_v govern_v till_o one_o be_v kill_v and_o then_o they_o will_v be_v at_o peace_n also_o when_o you_o put_v two_o little_a swarm_n together_o it_o be_v good_a to_o sprinkle_v strong_a beer_n or_o strong_a ale_n among_o they_o to_o make_v they_o all_o of_o one_o scent_n so_o can_v they_o not_o find_v out_o one_o sort_n from_o another_o but_o be_v all_o as_o one_o and_o agree_v in_o the_o next_o place_n remember_v to_o heed_v your_o swarm_n that_o they_o fly_v not_o away_o when_o the_o honey_n dew_n fall_v for_o many_o honey_n dew_n do_v fall_v in_o gloomy_a weather_n and_o in_o such_o time_n they_o may_v chance_v stay_v a_o while_n and_o work_v in_o their_o hive_n away_o how_o to_o prevent_v swarm_n from_o fly_v away_o and_o yet_o afterward_o leave_v all_o and_o be_v go_v into_o the_o wood_n where_o they_o from_o the_o oaken_a leaf_n can_v gather_v more_o free_o and_o ready_o which_o to_o prevent_v be_v sure_a to_o feed_v they_o with_o honey_n by_o put_v in_o a_o cane_n or_o kiske_n of_o honey_n into_o their_o hive_n every_o morning_n till_o they_o have_v get_v some_o store_n and_o have_v some_o provision_n in_o their_o hive_n which_o may_v give_v they_o content_v at_o home_n and_o so_o keep_v they_o from_o stray_v abroad_o how_o to_o feed_v bee_n note_v this_o by_o the_o way_n that_o bee_n be_v not_o to_o be_v feed_v in_o the_o winter_n but_o in_o the_o spring_n and_o summer_n in_o cold_a or_o wet_a or_o over-dry_a weather_n when_o honey_n be_v not_o to_o be_v gather_v abroad_o then_o feed_v your_o swarm_n over-dry_a time_n to_o feed_v in_o be_v cold_a or_o wet_a or_o over-dry_a else_o may_v they_o starve_v or_o pine_v or_o be_v out_o of_o heart_n and_o not_o able_a to_o work_v to_o feed_v they_o do_v thus_o take_v a_o kiske_n or_o cane_n that_o be_v hollow_a and_o cut_v it_o so_o that_o you_o leave_v a_o knot_n at_o each_o end_n of_o the_o kiske_n let_v the_o kiske_n be_v eight_o or_o twelve_o inch_n long_o and_o in_o bigness_n answerable_a to_o the_o number_n of_o bee_n in_o the_o swarm_n or_o stock_n that_o you_o feed_v then_o cut_v open_a and_o make_v the_o kisk_a hollow_a on_o the_o upperside_n and_o there_o pour_v in_o the_o honey_n and_o put_v it_o under_o the_o hive_n knit_v a_o string_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o kiske_n to_o pull_v it_o out_o of_o the_o hive_n so_o may_v you_o put_v it_o in_o or_o pull_v it_o out_o quite_o without_o raise_v of_o it_o thus_o you_o may_v feed_v your_o poor_a one_o at_o the_o spring_n when_o you_o find_v your_o stock_n without_o honey_n but_o if_o notwithstanding_o all_o your_o diligence_n you_o have_v some_o poor_a one_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o year_n then_o if_o you_o take_v any_o stock_n save_o some_o honey_n comb_v to_o feed_v with_o at_o the_o spring_n then_o in_o the_o spring_n when_o you_o see_v they_o gather_v if_o they_o want_v food_n you_o may_v put_v in_o those_o preserve_a honey_n comb_n which_o you_o may_v do_v after_o this_o manner_n first_o still_o the_o bee_n with_o smoke_n but_o not_o too_o early_o in_o the_o morning_n lest_o they_o take_v harm_n by_o the_o cold_a air_n bee_n a_o very_a approve_a way_n of_o feed_v bee_n then_o turn_v they_o up_o and_o take_v out_o a_o comb_n near_o the_o bee_n wherein_o be_v no_o honey_n and_o in_o stead_n thereof_o place_v the_o honeycomb_n and_o pin_v it_o in_o with_o thin_a spleet_n thrust_v through_o the_o hive_n to_o fasten_v it_o and_o set_v it_o so_o that_o the_o bee_n may_v go_v between_o the_o comb_n and_o this_o they_o will_v take_v for_o their_o own_o and_o be_v content_a to_o stay_v otherwise_o when_o honey_n be_v to_o be_v have_v in_o the_o field_n they_o will_v fly_v away_o if_o they_o have_v none_o of_o their_o own_o how_o to_o take_v bee_n that_o you_o find_v in_o a_o tree_n but_o now_o if_o notwithstanding_o all_o your_o diligence_n a_o
