XV I. The Green Herb. The DecoHion in Water 
and Wine, being drunk feveral times a day increafes 
Milk in Nurfes ^ and Boiled in Oil of Roles, and 
dropt into the Ears, takes away their Pains, and 
removes thenoife in them. The planting this Herb 
near Bees, is the belt means for the keeping of 
Bees, and multiplying of them, as alfo for their 
Breeding great ltore of Honey : For firlt it yields 
an innumerable' company of Flowers, and is conti- 
nually in flowering for Four and fometimes Five 
Months, according as the Year is Seafonable, and 
thefe Flowers yield much Sweetnels and Honey, 
and carry a Scent fo plealant and grateful with 
tliem, that the Bees rather chufe to feed upon it, 
than upon any other Plant whatfoever ^ befides they 
contain an» excellent Sweetning Ferment, by which 
the Dew is converted into a more Thick and Sweet 
Subliance, by many degrees- palling fimple Dew, 
which contains- within, it a Saccharine Salt, which 
the Bees greedily refort to, and fuck, and with it 
Load themfelves : But the main excellency is the 
long duration of its flowering, time, lo. that it will 
afford them a lupply, the greateft part of their ga- 
thering-time, whereas, the Bloffoms of Fruit-trees, 
and Flowers of other Herbs, are only at a peculiar 
feafon, and of linall continuance, The Green Herb 
being taken, and the infide of the Hives, as alfo the 
Orifices thereof being rubbed therewith, will lo much 
delight the Bees, that when their Swarming time 
comes, which will be Three Times a Year, if they 
feed on this Herb, they will certainly enter into 
them, and go no where elfe : But in cafe when they 
Swarm, they Ihoulti fettle upon fome Tree, or other 
Place, the fault may be helped by rubbing the in- 
iide of the new Hive with Green Anife, and hold- 
ing it on the Top of a Pole to the Bees ; for by 
the fweet Scent or Smell of the Anife, they will be 
allured, to enter thereinto,, of their own accords. ’

tries with Honey and Wax, whereby he Accumu- 
lated to himfelt raft Wealth, and a very great E-
