thefe laft into thin flices, firft obferving to pare 
off the fealed mouths of the cells, that the ho- 
ney may run freely out. In this ftate they 
» thould be laid in fieves, or any other veffels thar 
will afford a free paflage to the honey, which 
_ will run quite clear, and the honey thus ob- 
tained fhould be kept by itfelf) as being the 
pureft and beft. 
Thofe combs which may be filled with a 
mixture of live young maggots, bee-bread and 
honey, fhould immediately * be put below 
ftock hives, as directed page 202, &c. and the 
bees will foon fuck up all the honey in them. 
When the fine combs are completely run, they 
_ fhould be put into a pan, over a flow fire, and 
ftirred conftantly till they are more than milk 
warm; when they fhould be put into a ftrong 
 canvafs bag, and the honey f{queezed out. 
‘This honey being of an inferior quality, may 
be either ufed in the family, for common 
ufes ; or rather kept for feeding the bees. All 
the combs, from which it was {queezed, may 
_ then be foaked in water, and a weak kind of 
mead 
* All combs containing eggs and young in the-cells muft be put 
immediately to other hives, while they are warm ; for, fhould they 
‘¥emain two or three hours out of a hive, they will become chill 
and cool, fo as to make them decay in the cells.
