The other note is, that when they be minded within thrée daies after to flye awaye, they make as meruellous noise and sturring too and fro within the hiues at euening, as Souldiours at the Alarme within a Castell, whiche you maye easilye knowe, (this readinesse of them) if that you lay your eare to ech hiue. And when some of the Bées are flowen awaye, then doe those waite for the others, vntill the whole swarme be come togither. That the Bées fly not awaye, _Plinie_ teacheth in the .xj. Booke of his Naturall Historie, that the hiues ought to be annointed about with the iuyce of the herb named Balme. Also other affyrme, that the swarme to settle and stay againe through the onely throwing of fine duste on them, if so be the same be throwen on light, and that ouer the bées. Some beside affirme, that the Bées will not flye awaye, if that the dung of the first calfe of any Cowe, be smeared about the mouths of the hiues. _Plinie_ writeth, that by the only binding of the fresh white Vine (running in hedges) rounde about the bodies of the Hyues, it stayeth the swarme from flying away. ¶ Of the Bees newe settled in a swarme togyther, and taken or recouered agayne. Cap.xv. When the Bées are nowe in a tumulte in the ayre, by throwing fine earth on high ouer the Bées, or ringing a basen or kettle, they be with the shrill sound made astonied, that they maye the sooner settle downe neare to the kéeper, whiche if the same happen to be on the branch of a trée, or on a graft or yong set, then with a very sharpe sawe, gently sawe that off, and laye it on the grounde, and spéedily set a Hiue on the same prepared for the purpose. For by that meanes (without doubte) will the whole swarme flye vp to the toppe and head of the Hiue. Yet it often happeneth, that they doe not wholy cleaue on a heape to the braunch of a trée, but to the stocke or body of the trée, whych by that meanes muste néedes be cutte by a greater force, so that not able to be recouered by this meanes, the swarme muste be quickly swéepte off, either with the hand, or with a Gose wing, that they may so fall togither into the hiue. If the swarme happen to be clustred togither on the top of a trée, so high, that they cannot be climed vnto, to take them downe, then after the shaking of them into the Hiue (turned vppe) either with a pole or high forke, the hiue must spéedily be turned down to the earth. And if they be not thus taken or recouered, yet if the King shal be still in the Hiue, then doth the swarme fly in againe, if he remayneth not, then wil none of the swarme abide in the hiue, but flye forthwith vnto the former place. Wherfore, that they may be moued to abide, you muste then sprinckle the hiue with water and hony togither, and couer the same within with the gréene Nettle, or rather the gréene Fennell, or some such swéete herbe, annointed a little with Hony, and after set at the Euening in their proper place. For the hiue
