From hence it appears, that by laying out 

 two pounds jixteen JhHlings for the extraor- 

 dinary apparatus of the firjl year, a fuperior 

 profit is to be gained of two pounds one {hil- 

 ling and fixpence. But in the Jucceedlng 

 years it will amount to four pounds feventeen 

 {hillings, that is about fifty per cent, per 

 annum, on the two pounds fixteen {hillings 

 fo laid out : or four pounds feventeen 

 fhillings and fixpence a-year more, gained 

 by ftorifying twelve flocks, than by a like 

 number in Jingle hives. 



This ftatement is made upon the hweji 

 calculation in favour of ftorifying, which 

 ufually yields much more honey and wax 

 than here afligned, and that greatly fuperior 

 in quality, and confequently more valuable ; 

 but which cannot be obtained from common 

 Jingle hives. The inftruments are rated 

 higher than what they will ufually coft, be- 

 fides their advantage of durability. 



Though I fuppofed each common-hived 

 Hock to emit a good frji fwarm, which 

 they often do notj or it is frequently loft, and 

 though fome often afford two or three, they 

 in general are but trifling, and abate con-
