Of the Bee-Garden, 
and kill many) may bee altogether kept from them. And 
therefore, if it may be, fetyour Beeson the South fide of 
your houfe. 
The Eaft-fence alfo would bee good and high to kcepe 
from the Bees as well the funne, as the winde. For the funne 
rifing doth oitimes till them forth, when thcayreis colder 
then they can endure 3 and chcEaft-wind being cold & lharp 
is very vnkinde for Bees, fpecially in the Spring. 
But in no wife let the place be fhadowed from the South- 
funne : for that doth notonely dry the Hiues and relieue the 
Bees in the Winter and Spring, but alfo caufeth them to 
fwarme in Summer, if it be not extreme hot and drie v. 
Nor yet from the Sunne-fctting : becaufe incalmcand 
pleafant weather the Bees will be in the field after theSunne 
is downe, eucn as long as they can there fee : and if when 
they returne, they findcitdarke at home, many of them, 
their fight being but dim, v. fall (hort or wide : which flying 
and running to and fro till they be wearic, at length yeeld to 
the cold dew. 
Othcrwife let the fences be as good againft the South and 
Weft- winds alfo, as may be: for although they be not fo cold 
and bitter as the other 3 yet are they no Idle violent, and 
more frequent: fothat they alfo doe much harmc, fpcci- 
ally in the Spring. And therefore if at that time of the yeare, 
inrough and boiftrous winds , you finde that the Garden- 
fences doe not fufficiently guard and defend them 3then is it 
good to fet vp wixed or lined hurdles, or fome other skreenc 
betweenc them and the weather. For though they can fhife 
abroad in the ftrongeft winds, as a fhip that hath fea roomes 
yet are they eafily ouerthrowneatthe Hiue, as a fhippe is 
foone wrecked at the Hauen. 
A houfe or wall is fitteft for the North fencerand a Quick- 
fet-hedge for any of the other three: it may lerue alfo for 
the firft, fpecially if it be thicke. 
3. That the place be fweer, not annoyed with any {lin- 
king fauour. I haueknownea ftall in the Spring, being fuf- 
ficiently prouided of Honie, and hauing bred young, to for- 
fakc all, becaufe of Poultry that roofted in a trecouer them.
