A67083	Systema agriculturæ, the mystery of husbandry discovered treating of the several new and most advantagious ways of tilling, planting, sowing, manuring, ordering, improving of all sorts of gardens, orchards, meadows, pastures, corn-lands, woods & coppices, as also of fruits, corn, grain, pulse, new-hays, cattle, fowl, beasts, bees, silk-worms, &c. : with an account of the several instruments and engines used in this profession : to which is added Kalendarium rusticum, or, The husbandmans monthly directions, also the prognosticks of dearth, scarcity, plenty, sickness, heat, cold, frost, snow, winds, rain, hail, thunder, &c. and Dictionarium rusticum, or, The interpretation of rustick terms, the whole work being of great use and advantage to all that delight in that most noble practice.

the_o hive_n that_o be_v first_o fill_v away_o for_o your_o use_n and_o have_v also_o describe_v unto_o we_o the_o particular_a way_n of_o order_v these_o new-invented_n hive_n and_o how_o every_o

more_o seem_v superfluous_a and_o rather_o prove_v a_o burden_n than_o a_o advantage_n unto_o they_o the_o next_o year_n also_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o give_v they_o more_o room_n unless_o it_o

before_o as_o usual_o our_o swarm_v stock_n be_v also_o when_o you_o expect_v to_o take_v the_o top_n or_o full_a comb_n you_o will_v find_v the_o bee_n must_v there_o for_o they_o will_v not_o as_o some_o fond_o imagine_v desert_n the_o more_o remote_a and_o lie_v in_o the_o near_a comb_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a as_o i_o have_v often_o find_v but_o that_o which_o seem_v to_o i_o the_o most_o

and_o if_o you_o find_v they_o have_v a_o sufficient_a stock_n of_o honey_n to_o preserve_v they_o in_o the_o remainder_n you_o may_v take_v the_o most_o remote_a box_n or_o hive_n and_o place_n it_o the_o nethermost_a and_o so_o drive_v the_o bee_n into_o the_o other_o but_o this_o also_o must_v be_v submit_v to_o far_a trial_n to_o conclude_v from_o what_o we_o have_v before_o treat_v i_o judge_v it_o the_o most_o prudential_a way_n to_o have_v in_o your_o apiary_n a_o sufficient_a stock_n of_o bee_n keep_v for_o breed_v and_o swarm_v and_o another_o stock_n keep_v in_o large_a
