But the hard Corne-honiet/: in the top of the Combes, 
fpecially ifitherebtany ftore, becaufe it will not runne, you 
mud either walh into the warme Meth liquor jor melt it with 
the Cells on a foft fire, or in a hot ouen,or in Balneo Maria, 
v: and fo fiiall you hauc the Honie by it felfe, and the Wax 
fwimming aboue it : which you may take away when it is 
cold. Butfo this good Honie will become but courfe : and 
therefore put it to thefecond fhoot. 
Hauing now taken fo many Stalls as you can drdfethis 
eueningjt'.- take thereftas fooneafeeras you may, v: and let 
the Honie be all tryed out, before you foake the fecond part. 
The Hiues being rid, catrie them into your Garden (a 
Pcarch at lead from any Stall) for the Bees to take vp your
