the Bees from their Combs before the fall 
of the Honey-dews, and take the upper

tage, by reafon of the young Grubs you 
would have riiixt with your impure Honey. 
And if you fhould feparate or drive them 
after, you would not leave wherewith to 
maintain them over the Winter ; and your 
driving of them, being a lingering Death, 
Would prove greater cruelty to thefe Ani¬ 
mals than a hidden fuffocation.

tinually employ themfelves in gathering 
very pure Honey in fmall quantity, from 
the time of the Honey-dews, until thele- 
verity of the Winter prohibits their Flight} 
but not enough to renew their Store for 
the fucceeding Winter. 
All which confidered, you will loon be 
of the Poet’s Opinion, 
Omnibus nna quies operum , Labor omni¬ 
bus unus } 
AU rejl at once , at once they labour all.
