vnder-hiued, your remedy is to rearethe Hiue with a skirt, or 
Bolftcrs, as much as will let them in. If at Virgo you fee, by 
their not filling the Hiue,that they are ouer-hioed j.your ro- 
medie is then to cut off the skirt vnto the combes, or netre 
to themi 
But generally it is fafer and more for your profit , to vn* 
der-hiuea fwarme, then to ouer-hiue him.

A Reft is either fingle or double. The fingle Reft is a 
Trifme or three fquare Columne, eighteene inches long, and 
tbretinches deepe, hauing the vpper edge full of nicks for 
the fpaceoffix inches at each end, and the middle fpace, of 
fix inches, frnooth. It will be fafer for the Bees, and lighter 
for cariage, if the length of tenne inches in the middle of the 
bottome be cut away one inch high, abating the new edges ; 
and the foure inches at each end be hollowed in the middle 
of the bottome from end to end, at the fame height of one 
inch : and fo this will be the forme of the fide ,
