to_o have_v your_o hive_n well_o shelter_v from_o the_o north-wind_n and_o general_o from_o all_o tempestuous_a weather_n for_o which_o purpose_n if_o you_o have_v shed_v to_o draw_v over_o they_o in_o the_o winter_n it_o be_v so_o much_o the_o better_o and_o you_o shall_v place_v your_o hive_n in_o orderly_a row_n one_o before_o another_o keep_v clean_a ally_n between_o they_o every_o way_n

strength_n and_o goodness_n of_o the_o stock_n or_o the_o warmth_n of_o the_o weather_n the_o usual_a time_n for_o cast_v be_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o may_n till_o the_o middle_n of_o july_n and_o in_o all_o that_o time_n you_o must_v have_v a_o vigilant_a eye_n or_o else_o some_o servant_n to_o watch_v their_o rise_n lest_o they_o fly_v away_o and_o knit_v in_o some_o obscure_a place_n far_o

the_o air_n which_o will_v common_o be_v in_o the_o height_n and_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n you_o shall_v take_v a_o brass_n bason_n pan_n or_o candlestick_n and_o make_v a_o tingle_a noise_n
