Sd8 SUMMARY* 



About the tenth, the upper doorways of 

 duplets mud be flopped. 



If the weather is fo hot as to endanger 

 the melting of the combs, give the hives as 

 much air as poflible, and fcreen them from 

 the fun, and pour water upon the ground 

 around them. 



Augujl. 



This is a dangerous month for robbing. 

 Therefore an obfervation rauft be had every- 

 day, to fee whether the hives are affaulted. 

 By neglecting that, many flocks are fre- 

 quently loft. Wafps are to be guarded againft. 



About the latter end of this month is 

 the ufual feafon of general deprivation^ or 

 taking up of flocks. Inftead of taking 

 off duplets in this month, it would be 

 better (I think) to defer it till the latter 

 end of the next month, or beginning of 

 October. 



September. 

 No other attention is required than a 

 cafual caft of the eye, to fee that the ftocks 

 are not annoyed by robbers, or vermin.
