Of the Smarming of tetes, 
flicks lay parallel oucr thehiue fiue or fix inches apart , and 
each of them a like difiance from the middle of the Hiue, 
with both thethieke ends one way to fize out the doorc for 
this doubled ftall : andfo tie them with needle and thread 
to the skirts faft in their places. Thefe ftickes doc alio feme 
to kerpe the Hiucfrom flipping, and to fave the Bees, that o- 
therwifc might be preft to death betweene the two skirts. 
Then in a faire night, fo foon as it is dark, rearc thefull Hiue 
with three bolfters, two on the Well fide, andoneonthc 
Eaft, fome foure or fiue inches higb,(or with a double reft)to 
let the Bees in: and couer both it and theftoole with a large 
Mantle. Then make a Brake behinde the ftoole of fourr 
ftakes, 1 . two foot , and i. foure foot long , pitched faft in 
diftance equal!, and fit to conteine the full Hiue: which you 
may be-fure of by fitting it to the leere Hiue , being of the 
famecompaire. Oneof the fhort ftakes fetclofe to the mid- 
dle of thebackeof the ftoole, the other Northward oppo- 
fiteto it: oneof thelong ones on the Weft part, andtheo- 
theron theEaft. Then right in the middle, betweene the 
ftakes, digge a hole in the ground halfcafootdeepe $ and of 
fuch compare, that being halfe filled with a wifp of ftraw,it 
may fitly receiue the top of the Hiue, andfo the Hiue may 
fland vprightand fail in the Brake. Then pare away the in- 
neredges of the tops of thefhort ftakes, that the Hiue in the 
fettingdownemay notftay againft them: and taking vp the 
Weft-ftake, fticke it by you. 
Tiiefe things thus prepared, your fclfe Handing on the 
Weft fideof the Brake, and your afliftant onrhe fame fide 
of the ftoole at your right hand , (both in your complete 
harnefle)t/:Iet the afliftant take holdoftheHiue } &-,yeelding 
the top toward his breaft, reare the fur-fide of the skirt from 
theEaft-bolfter.Whepyou fee it fitting, embracing the hiue 
as neere the skirt as you may, lift it vp (heere from theother 
two bolfters, and fet it downe warily in the middle of the 
Brake, with the top in the hole as vpright as you can , and 
thedoore to the backer part of the ftoole, that itmayftatid 
South-ward as it did before. And prefently let your afli- 
ftant, being rcadie, place the leere prepared hiue euen vpon 
it, with the thick ends of the ftickes South- ward : and doe
