Pvi. Of the fruit and profit of Bees, 
rifiug,lifctheScall from the Stoole,andfetit vpright andfad 
on the ground in a Brake v. with the bottome vpward : and 
quickly coueric with anempcie Hiue, hauingfird laid two 
fple-ets vponthefull Hiues botiome, thatthe emptic Hiue 
may dand the faller. Then wrapping a Mantle v. round 
about the Chincke or meeting of both the Hiues , and bin- 
ding it tail with a fmall cord aboue and beneath } thataRee 
may not gee forth,clap the full Hiue or Remouer round about 
a good many times, pawling now and then a little betweene,, 
that the Bees may afcend into the void Hiue. And when 
you thinkc that mod of them are driuen vp ( which will bee 
about halfe an houre after) fee the vpper Hiue or Recemer 
vpon the old doole : B VT bee fure &c. as it followeth 
note I 5. ♦ 
Prouided alwaies, before you goe about this bufinefle,tha£ 
all the Stalls in your Garden be fird (hut vp,led they trouble 
you and your poore Bees. 
Thiskindeof taking is much applauded at the fird, be- 
caufe men thipke thereby, tofaueboth Bees and Honie : but 
icfallerhout with them as itisinthe Prouerbe, Allcouet ,all 
lofe . For the Honie is neither fo good, as being not yet in 
feafon, and to bee corrupted with the Schadons, v. which 
can hardly be cleane taken from it; neither fo much by almoft 
theonehalfe, fith there remaine yet fix or fencn weeekes of 
Home-gathering. 
And the Bees , as men forcibly driuen from their goods 
and children, are fo difeouraged , that they feldom thriue af- 
ter it : fpecially thofe that haue Iwarmedj feeing their compa- 
nie is leaft but fmall, and the after-brood is deftroyed,which 
fhould haue fupplyed the roomes of them that are gone. 
And as for thofe that hauenoc cad, they might after that time 
yeeld a fwarme , which would be better than the whole ftall 
being driuen : and if they did not fwarme at all, they would 
beefo much the better, either to take for Honie, or keepe for 
ftote.v.c.f.n. 12. 
This Driuing of Bees into leere Hiues being nothing lb 
profitable as it feemeth, I doe rather commend vnto you the 
Driuing of one dall into an other : whereby the pule of one
