and the Hiuingof them. 
Receiuervpon the Reftsoucr them : and they will begin pre- 
sently to afeend. If thofe that remaine doe not runne out to 
their company, of their owne accord ; clap the place where 
they be gathered, andforcetbem outiand laydownethe hiue 
againefo, that the Small remnant may follow their fellowes: 
if you fpy any cluttering by themfelues, or ftragling from the 
Refts, guide them thither. And when they arc all in, either 
that night, or becimes in the morning, cloome the Hiue vnto 
his ftoolc. 
Ocherwifeaboutten a clocke, or as foonc as it is darke, 
fet the Remoter in a Brake v: with his bottome vp ward, and 
th zReccitier vpon him, binding them about the skirts with 
alongTowellor two Napkins Sowed or pinned together, 
and fo let them ftand till the morning : and then fet the Re- 
ceiver vpon his ftoole. After this manner I vnited two 
fwarmes without the death of any one Bee, fauing oncly her 
that mutt not be faued. 
If yet there be not Bees enough in the Hiue, you may in 
like manner put another fwarme to them. 
In the vnitingof fwarmes, two fpeciall inconueniences 
are to be auoided. The one that being vnited, they exceed 
not the naturall quantitie of a fwarme:?/. for if they doe, 
though they agree and gather, and grow far, yea andcaft 
thenextyeare a faire fwarme; yet will they neuer come to 
their fitft quantitie againe, nor fcarfe fwarme any morcin 
that vaftroome. The other that they fight nor, and defttoy 
one an other. Vnto which two inconueniences the fwarmes 
that vnite themfelues, if they be not aided, areobnoxious.To 
preuent the fruitlelle concourfe of more then need is, which 
is the firft inconuenience , when you fee a futticient faire 
fwarme abroad, haue an eye vnto the reft of your ftockes : if 
you efpic an other about to rife, ftay him by prefenc 
fhuttingthe doore with a Napkin, Apron, or othcrfuch 
cloth, vntill the firft fwarme be fetled : if then one riling 
drawneerevnto him ( as lightly he will doe if hccanfindc 
him ) couer him quickly with a Mantle till that be fetled : if 
being now hiued, an other prelle into him j then before ma- 
ny bcentred, (that you may befurcnottohauctheQu.eene)
