Throughe whiche it so commeth to passe, that the searcher after Bées knoweth not then howe neare, or far off, the swarm is from the spring or running water. Some take the iuyce of the hearb Baulme in the Spring time, and annoint the same round about the hiue, whereby the sauour of the iuyce maye cleaue and abide on the vessell, whiche afterwarde being fayre within, sprinckle aboute with a little honny, setting the same hiue downe neare to the woodde or groue of trées fast by that spring or water running by it, and after the same be filled with a swarme, carry it gently home. Yet doeth not this like, but in such places where the swarmes of Bées do abounde, for that oftentimes it so hapneth, that vnlesse the hiues be dailye watched, that the goers by do take them away. But to lose sundrie hiues, gretly hindreth not, so that you may in the mean whiles enioy one or two of them full. Nowe hitherto hathe béene sufficientlye taughte, suche remedies and helpes, as necessarily serue, to the taking, and recouering of Bées loste, and otherwise to finde oute straunge swarmes. ¶ That the Bees sting no person, comming neare their Hiues. Cap.xxij. _Plinie_ in his twentith book writeth, that the hearb Sperage, brused and mixed with oyle, and annoynted with the same, doth defende the person from being stinged, by comming nygh to their hiues. And in his .xxviij. booke he also wryteth, that if any happeneth to be stinged by a Scorpion, that he shall neuer after be stinged of any Bée, but yet being stinged, he teacheth to drinke the iuyce of Hearbe-grace and Rue mixed with wine, and to lay the leaues also in plaister forme on the stinged places. In the 21. booke he writeth the like, that bées stings are by nature venomous, against the which he teacheth to take & vse the iuyce of Mallowes, or the iuyce of Iuie leaues, and to annoint eyther of the two, on the stinged places, as a souerain remedy. And in the 23. booke, he teacheth wyne for a remedy, as boyled with bay leaues, and after drunke. In the 24. booke he teacheth to take a drop of that molten, whiche the honny Bées make at the entrye of the Hiue, to be a like remedy, as of the water _Bezoar_ to be vsed against venemous bittes. _Auicen_ in his seconde rule teacheth, that the decoction of the March Mallowes wyth vineger or wine, and the same anoynted on the stinged places, to be a perfit remedie. Whiche also in his fourth rule affirmeth, that the Honnye Bée hath like dispositions to the waspe, sauing that they leaue their stings behinde them: wherfore for remedie of the wasps, you may vse those which we haue afore taught againste the stings of Bées. ¶ When and howe, the Hiues ought to be gelded.
