A05403	The ordering of bees: or, The true history of managing them from time to time, with their hony and waxe, shewing their nature and breed As also what trees, plants, and hearbs are good for them, and namely what are hurtfull: together with the extraordinary profit arising from them. Set forth in a dialogue, resolving all doubts whatsoever. By the late unparalell'd experience of Iohn Levett, Gent.	Levett, John.	1634 (1634)	STC 15555; ESTC S108514	50,655	92

that_o be_v which_o we_o call_v western_a honey_n which_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o loath_a to_o taste_v and_o i_o have_v see_v some_o hereabout_o not_o much_o better_a but_o how_o they_o use_v it_o i_o know_v not_o nor_o have_v any_o list_n to_o understand_v but_o howsoever_o it_o may_v not_o be_v of_o the_o best_a gather_v yet_o i_o very_o believe_v it_o will_v have_v be_v much_o better_a if_o it_o have_v be_v well_o handle_v concern_v the_o manner_n that_o i_o use_v and_o like_v i_o will_v show_v you_o two_o way_n the_o first_o way_n be_v this_o take_v a_o great_a earthen_a pan_n or_o such_o like_a and_o spread_v over_o it_o a_o large_a new_a canvas_n cloth_n that_o be_v very_o thin_a and_o wring_v the_o honey_n out_o of_o the_o comb_n as_o hard_o as_o you_o can_v when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o knit_v the_o cloth_n at_o the_o four_o corner_n together_o and_o hang_v it_o up_o by_o put_v a_o stick_n or_o staff_n through_o at_o the_o knit_n right_a over_o the_o say_a pan_n and_o so_o let_v it_o run_v into_o the_o pan_n of_o its_o own_o accord_n without_o force_v then_o put_v it_o up_o into_o a_o pot_n that_o have_v not_o be_v wash_v or_o if_o it_o be_v wash_v let_v it_o be_v perfect_o dry_a again_o and_o so_o keep_v it_o for_o use_n and_o you_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o no_o water_n or_o other_o thing_n run_v near_o unto_o it_o to_o fall_v into_o it_o for_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n that_o will_v corrupt_v honey_n the_o other_o way_n be_v in_o this_o sort_n in_o stead_n of_o your_o cloth_n take_v a_o searce_a and_o lay_v it_o over_o your_o pan_n and_o so_o to_o refine_v your_o honey_n by_o let_v it_o run_v through_o it_o both_o which_o way_n i_o take_v to_o be_v good_a enough_o and_o this_o be_v all_o that_o i_o use_v to_o do_v with_o my_o honey_n at_o the_o drive_v of_o my_o hive_n and_o as_o for_o the_o keep_n of_o it_o afterward_o it_o shall_v need_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o the_o pot_n be_v close_a and_o safe_a from_o any_o thing_n come_v or_o fall_v into_o they_o and_o if_o any_o rise_v work_v or_o spurge_v up_o as_o sometime_o it_o will_v do_v you_o must_v take_v it_o away_o yet_o this_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o honey_n of_o aswarm_o will_v not_o be_v so_o thick_a as_o that_o of_o a_o old_a stock_n nor_o honey_n that_o be_v gather_v late_o so_o good_a as_o that_o which_o be_v gather_v in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o summer_n but_o i_o suppose_v the_o chief_a reason_n to_o be_v for_o that_o the_o former_a have_v continue_v long_o among_o the_o bee_n who_o with_o their_o heat_n have_v compose_v it_o to_o a_o better_a substance_n then_o that_o which_o have_v lyen_fw-we a_o lesser_a while_n among_o they_o and_o therefore_o be_v not_o so_o well_o refine_v as_o the_o other_o be_v petralba_n after_o what_o manner_n do_v you_o deal_v with_o your_o comb_n to_o try_v out_o the_o wax_n tortona_n the_o manner_n thereof_o be_v so_o common_a and_o well_o know_v to_o every_o one_o as_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v but_o for_o form_n sake_n to_o say_v any_o thing_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v be_v the_o more_o brief_a when_o the_o honey_n be_v all_o get_v out_o put_v all_o your_o comb_n as_o well_o those_o that_o have_v no_o honey_n in_o they_o as_o the_o rest_n into_o a_o good_a quantity_n of_o fair_a water_n of_o this_o water_n some_o make_v a_o kind_n of_o drink_n call_v meath_z which_o if_o you_o do_v change_v your_o comb_n into_o other_o water_n and_o boil_v they_o a_o little_a while_n till_o the_o comb_n be_v well_o melt_v then_o put_v the_o comb_n and_o water_n together_o into_o a_o canvas_n bag_n make_v like_o a_o ipocras_n bag_n viz._n narrow_a at_o the_o low_a end_n and_o strain_n as_o much_o as_o you_o can_v through_o the_o same_o let_v it_o run_v into_o a_o vessel_n of_o cold_a water_n cast_v away_o the_o rise_v that_o remain_v in_o the_o bag_n after_o this_o gather_v the_o wax_n well_o together_o and_o melt_v it_o in_o a_o posnet_n or_o such_o like_a at_o a_o soft_a fire_n and_o let_v it_o be_v make_v into_o what_o form_n you_o please_v but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o purify_v at_o the_o first_o try_v well_o enough_o as_o peradventure_o it_o will_v not_o be_v then_o try_v or_o melt_v it_o again_o first_o have_v scrape_v or_o pare_v of_o the_o rise_v that_o settle_v at_o the_o bottom_n but_o if_o you_o will_v have_v your_o wax_n very_o yellow_a you_o must_v not_o put_v to_o it_o the_o comb_n of_o your_o swarm_n that_o you_o drive_v but_o try_v that_o by_o itself_o for_o the_o wax_n of_o swarm_n be_v much_o white_a than_o the_o wax_n of_o a_o old_a stock_n and_o be_v try_v with_o it_o will_v make_v it_o have_v a_o more_o pale_a colour_n then_o otherwise_o it_o will_v have_v and_o this_o be_v as_o much_o as_o in_o my_o conceit_n shall_v be_v needful_a to_o be_v do_v concern_v the_o well_o keep_v and_o order_v of_o bee_n petralba_n mr._n googe_n and_o other_o that_o have_v write_v of_o the_o order_n of_o bee_n make_v report_n of_o many_o sort_n of_o tree_n herb_n and_o plant_n which_o as_o they_o say_v be_v profitable_a and_o help_a to_o bee_n if_o they_o be_v place_v and_o set_v near_o unto_o they_o and_o that_o by_o gather_v of_o they_o they_o will_v prosper_v and_o increase_v much_o the_o better_o therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o let_v i_o not_o be_v without_o your_o opinion_n and_o judgement_n concern_v that_o point_n also_o and_o if_o you_o think_v they_o any_o furtherance_n to_o their_o prosperity_n that_o you_o will_v set_v down_o the_o name_n of_o those_o that_o you_o think_v most_o necessary_a and_o the_o manner_n how_o and_o when_o to_o plant_v they_o tortona_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o as_o all_o other_o creature_n be_v benefit_v and_o further_v by_o such_o thing_n as_o nature_n have_v create_v for_o their_o sustenance_n and_o delight_n even_o so_o the_o silly_a bee_n also_o be_v not_o without_o their_o benefit_n by_o be_v near_o such_o tree_n and_o plant_n as_o they_o joy_v and_o delight_n to_o gather_v of_o especial_o such_o as_o blossom_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o spring_n when_o few_o or_o no_o plant_n be_v to_o be_v find_v for_o that_o purpose_n grow_v in_o the_o field_n but_o if_o april_n be_v once_o past_a i_o hold_v it_o not_o much_o material_a because_o then_o every_o field_n have_v plenty_n of_o flower_n and_o plant_n for_o they_o to_o gather_v of_o and_o therefore_o i_o do_v like_o well_o that_o you_o shall_v plant_v such_o thing_n about_o your_o garden_n and_o yard_n the_o name_n whereof_o and_o the_o manner_n how_o to_o do_v it_o i_o will_v declare_v unto_o you_o of_o so_o

yet_o one_o thing_n i_o will_v here_o remember_v unto_o you_o that_o shall_v have_v be_v speak_v of_o before_o i_o hold_v it_o very_o good_a to_o plant_v young_a tree_n about_o and_o near_o unto_o your_o bee_n so_o that_o they_o stand_v not_o to_o the_o south_n of_o they_o which_o will_v be_v both_o good_a for_o they_o to_o light_n and_o settle_v upon_o in_o swarm_a time_n as_o also_o for_o they_o to_o gather_v upon_o their_o blossom_n if_o they_o be_v fruit_n tree_n petralba_n what_o fruit_n tree_n do_v you_o hold_v best_o for_o that_o purpose_n tortona_n such_o as_o blossom_v early_o

more_o early_o for_o if_o you_o observe_v it_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o bee_n exceed_o to_o gather_v in_o their_o blossom_n when_o they_o blow_v petralba_n what_o sort_n of_o they_o do_v you_o think_v best_a to_o be_v plant_v for_o i_o will_v plant_v of_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v best_a for_o they_o tortona_n it_o be_v not_o my_o purpose_n in_o this_o place_n to_o distinguish_v of_o the_o goodness_n of_o fruit_n as_o not_o material_a to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n because_o bee_n delight_v as_o well_o in_o the_o blossom_n of_o the_o worst_a as_o of_o the_o best_a and_o again_o i_o suppose_v it_o a_o bustle_n piece_n of_o work_n to_o perform_v for_o every_o man_n taste_n will_v challenge_v a_o censure_n in_o that_o thing_n because_o we_o see_v one_o man_n love_v that_o which_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

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

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
