covery of that excellent method of Bee-houfes and Colonies^ they 
are freed from moll, if not all the hazards, charge, and trouble 
that heretofore attended them : Not to mention the advantage 
and profit accrewing by them, which has always been judged fov 
confidcrable, that there have been feveral rra^is written and 
publiilf d full of experiments, direftions, and methods to be ufed 
in the menage of thefe Infers,

are praftifed by John Lad of Over-lForton^ and William Tayler of 
WarhvQorth^ who though a North amp on-ffjire Man, has AfifaSio- 
ries'm this County^ who profefs (as I am informed by the Reve- 
rend Mr. Clark Reftor of Dreyton near Banhury) i . That they 
can take faarms out of any ^iockth^tlS able, and negleds to foarm^ 
without any prejudice to the Jiock.. 2. That they can take hony 
out of a without that hazard to the See% which (they fay) 
the way propofed by the Author of the Colonies is fubieft tooi.

can preferve and recruit it, fo as it fliall do well. 6. They can 
take away a Queen where there is more than one in a hive^ and 
i^\2iCt her \m flock where the Queen is dead, or otherwife want- 
ing, and by that means keep the fiihjeSis together, which would j

of feveral ftocks fupplies in what number they pleafe, that (hall 
fettle under her government. And thefe operations they com- 
monly praftice, which becaufe profitable to them^ they are un- 
willing Hiould be made too common, which yet they are fo in- 
genious as not to deny to communicate to fit perfons upon rea- 
fonablc terms.
