Of the (Remoumg of 'Bees. 
ring, and the Combes being then moft weightie&id moft 
weake, the danger of breaking them is greateft. 
To remouein Vtrgo (when the Bees doe euer vfe to be try- 
ing of mafteries ) 7/. is dangerous for robbing. For the /«- 
^jgew^orold inhabitants of the Garden(as they goc about 
prying for booties) finding new neighbours come among 
them, will be fure to vifir them : and while thechiefeaf 
their ftrength is ftragling abroad, feeking for their old dwel- 
ling ; they will bring the reft fuch cheere to their houfe- 
warming, as fliall haply make the houfe too hot for them. 
And then they muft be faine to goe along with them, and 
helpe to Carrie their owne goods after them. v. c. y.n. 42.

by their ignorance and negligence. 
But if you may choofe , remoue in Libra onely : which is

ding, readie to woi ke, in the morning ; arid fo lofc no time, 
nor breake his firft Combe in the carriage. 
I N the euening, when you mean to remoue, an hourebefore

fters two or three inches thicke, that .the Bees may afeend
