Of the lemoning of *Bees. 
to the old ftoole, either befideit, or before it. This done, lift 
vp the Hall from his old ftoole and fet it vpon the new : and 
then wiping the Bees from the old ftoole ( if any remaine ) 
with your Brulh j either take the ftoole away, or couer ic with 
a cloth. And then if your new ftoole be cnely a planke 
without legs, borne vp by fome other meanes; it is good to 
fet it vpon the old. Within a while when the Bees are all 
in, knit the mantle at the foure corners ouer the top of the 
Hiue, fo as the knots may not flip : and prefently binde it to 
the Hiue about the middle flackly witha Imallline, and 
wreft it faft with a little flick e. And lo is the flail readie to be 
remoued. 
They vfe commonly to make no more adoe, but after 
fun-fet when the Bees are at reft, to lift vp the Hall, and let ic 
vpon a mantle fpread on the ground, and fo to binde ic 
vp, leaning the Bees vpon the ftoole ( which in a good ftall 
arenotafew) behinde them. Which way, for fuch flails 
as haue all their Bees vp in the Hiue, may ferue well e- 
nough. 
The bell way to carrie your * Stall is vpon a Cowl-ftaffe 
betweene two. 
* If you haue many to remooue j twoluftie fellowes maybearctwo 
or three of them at once : but let them be all faft bound together. 
Ifit be light, one may carrie it in his hand. But,howfoc- 
tier, be lure it hang perpendicularly for feare oFbreaking the 
Combes ; fpecially if you chance to remoue before Libra , 
when the wax is foft, and the lower parts of the Combes 
are heauie with Schadons, as well as the vpper with Hcnie. 
When you haue brought the Stall home, you may let it 
Hand bound as ic is, all night inthehoufe. The morrow', 
when the weather ferueth , let him on his feat : but if it be 
foule all the next day, keepe him ftill bound vntill it be fairc. 
And then hauingloofed the line, and taken away the Man- 
tle, cloomehim vp prefently: leauing/or three or foure faire 
dates, a verie narrow entrance, for feare of robbing. For their 
new neighbours, euen nowalfo (though not fo eagerly as in 
Virgo ) will proue themtand they will not fo ftoutly refill, vn- 
cilithey be acquainted in the place.
