 by not being wide enough for the openings, 

 may be covered by flips of bohea tea-chefl 

 lead. 



GJafTes may be fet on ftraw hives, by hav- 

 ing a circular adapter fet over, as before 

 mentioned ; only be careful that the glafTes 

 do not ftand too near the edges, fo as to 

 prevent the body of a ftraw hive from fur- 

 rounding them, or the ftraw cover from be- 

 ing laid over > y and which may be removed 

 at pleafure for infpecYion. 



No glafTes ought to be fet over flocks, 

 until a duplet is about half full, left the 

 after-feafon mould prove unfavourable for 

 floring the boxes. No glafTes fhould be fet 

 over weak flocks. About the tenth of July 

 glafTes fhould be taken off; but if duplets 

 are Well furniihed, they may be fafely ad- 

 mitted fo long as the bees continue to place 

 honey therein. _ In cafe the bees of a duplet 

 . lie out, take the glaiTes off, and raife the 

 flock on a nadir. 



In bad feafons, glafTes cannot be filled 

 without too much impoverifhing the flock ; 

 probably to their utter ruin.
