fwarm large enough, and then the fwarm. 
fhould be rethoved to about a mile diftance, to 
prevent the bees from going ins to the old 
ftock again.* ; 
Caseé IIL, When a perfon pie? a {mall fwarm, 
whether it be a firft, fecond or third one, and 
at the fame timie a lying-out hive, that has 
been long in fwarming, he fhould drive all the 
bees out of the lying-out hive, into an empty 
one, (fee the method, page 138) and fet down 
the bees in the fame {pot where they ftood for- 
merly, which will make a fine large artificial 
fwarm, as fuch a hive would have abundance 
of bees; after which, let the fmall fwarm be 
put into the old hive, where they will hatch 
out all the young, and make a good hive; and 
let the old hive be placed on the fame fpot 
where the {mall {warm ftood. 
CASE. 
* When bees come naturally off in a fwarm, they take a view 
of the place where they fettle, and never think of going back 
to their mother hive ; but, when they are feparated from their 
mother hive by driving, or when the hive is fhifted from where 
it formerly flood, they are infenfible of the change of their 
fituation, and always fly back to their former ftation; for which 
reafon, the bee-mafter fhould always remove every artificial 
fwarm, or re-inforced hive, to fome confiderable diftance, other- 
wife a number of the bees will go back again,
