The foresayde _Varro_, affirmeth those Bées to be in healthe, which often kepe and be in a swarme togither, that be clenly & can do their businesse and worke alike, and that quicke & light in the same, beyng neyther hearie nor foule of body, or appearing dustie, such also which be not ouerleane of body, and that out of any of their cotages no dead bées be carried thence, & forth of their Hiues. For all these notes do declare suche like Bées, to be both euill and vnprofytable. _Palladius_ declareth, that the best Bées may be knowen by the fulnesse or emptinesse of their vessels, for if the Hiues be full, then those Bées doth he best commende, if the Hiues be nothing so full stuffed, those Bées doeth he greatly dissalowe. And he also praiseth those Bées, whiche excelleth or passeth others in the loudnesse of humming, or do abound in the great haunte of the swarme, not broughte to the Hiues from farre places, so that there maye be such agrement, that they be not after feared awaye, with the newnesse of the aire and place. ¶ Where the Hiues of Bees ought especially to be placed. Cap.x. _Aristotle_ willeth the Hiues of Bées in the winter time to be placed in a warme place, and in the hotte season of Sommer, in a colde place. _Palladius Rutilius_ in his firste Booke of husbandrie teacheth that the fittest place for bées, is that, whiche is in a Garden, not farre or rather neare to the owners house, which by that meanes suffereth not the windes, nor the accesse of théeues or beastes.
