to let the bees have a plenitude of room for 

 breeding ; better too much than too little.

 for feveral days, and not attended to, famine 

 may be the confequence. 



This month generally furnifhes many 

 fwarms : therefore conftant watching is 

 requifite from eight till three ; or otherwife 

 great part of the prime fwarms will efcape.

By tapping on the fides of the duplets, it 

 may be known whether they want the ad-

 to take ofFfome triplets, and to fet nadir hives 

 under. 



Be very circumfpecl: with regard to the 

 flocks that have not fwarmed.

Swarms often rife till the end of this 

 month; and therefore the bees mufl be 

 watched till all the hives have fent out their 

 prime fwarms. Take hives off, and place 

 nadirs under, as often as may be requiflte.
