 have fwarmed, and notwithstanding in the 

 middle of July clujlered out; and on having 

 another hive fet Over them, ftill remained, 

 without afcending ; but two or three days 

 after, on fetting a hive under, they preferitly 

 entered, and worked vigoroufly. 



With refpect to thofe flocks which do 

 not feem to increase in numbers, or ap- 

 pear to have drones ; a dozen or two 

 fhould be taken from another flock that has 

 plenty, and put to them. To effect this, in 

 a line funny afternoon, when the drones ifTue 

 out moft, take them fingly with the finger 

 and thumb as they pafs on the refting board, 

 and put them into a long phial, held ready 

 in the other hand, till the number wanted is 

 obtained : flop the phial with a notched 

 cork, and at night fallen the mouth of the 

 phial to the door-way of the hive, and by 

 morning they will have entered.
