three or four times, before the whole be got. 
Tt fometimes happens, that a Swarm shall feparate 
in their Flight, and fertle in two or three diftingt 
Places, which is always attended with a Queen-Bee 
to each Party, and is the Caufe of that Separation : 
In this Cafe they muft be hived feparatcly, and join-
