tiag the Hiue ouer them vpon the Refts , tak£vp the two 
corners of the Mantle, and doc as before. 
And in cafe fomc of the fwarmc be firft fallen to the

cing a double Reft wichouta Mantleas well asyou may , not 
killing any Bees, either (hake the reft downe to them, and fo 
fet the Hiue ouer them all,or elfc fet the Hiue ouer that part, 
and the reft, hauing cut the bough, lay befide theHiue, and 
mouc them with your Brulh. 
If they pitch vpon a high tree, it is not beft to (hake them 
into the Hiue , butrathcr withalharpc knife cut the bough 
if you can conveniently : and eitherput it into the Hiue, and 
couer it with a Mantle, or bring it downe genclie in your 
hand. But if you want a ladder or other meanes to bring it 
downe, then let it downe by a-cordtiedtofomecrooke of 
ibe bough. 
If they pitch vpon the body of a tree, or vpon fomc great 
arme; then fet one fide of the Hiue right ouer the Bees, and 
with the Brulh driuethem vp by mouing ftill the lower 
and wayward part. Butif you haue no meanes to faften the 
Hiue by tying itaboue,or propping it beneath with prongs 
orthelike, or if they be vnwilling thus to take the Hiue j 
then parting them from the tree with a tight v. thred, wipe 
them downe into the hiue, and fet them vpon the Mantle & 
Reftvnderthetree. If they be fo high that you mull: clime 
for them, then couer them prefently with a Mantle, and (o 
carrythemdowne. But looke that many will rifeagaine: 
which let alone vncill they be knit, and then fweepe them
