CUbiodiversity1188016 Year: 1765 ( How tofurntjh the Colonies with Inhabitants. 14,0 Provided it is an hive which you take, and with any confiderable number of Bees in it, you may drive them Out into an empty hive, as fome writers have directed. Placing an empty hive in a bucket with the mouth upwards, lift the hive from the colony upon the other, tying a cloth prefently about them, turning the bottom hive to the top, which done you may carry them to fome diftance, and by a ftick ftrike fmartly all round the bottom hive, difturbing the Bees in it, flopping at times, to give them liberty to afcend. Be fure not to fhake the upper hive, during the operation, but keep it firm and fteady in it's place. When you perceive by the noife of the Bees, they are got up, carry the hive, and knock the Bees out on the ground, or upon a cloth fpread upon it, with one end fattened to the lighting board, when they will go to the colony. But as I never place a ftraw-hive in a houfe or colony, I have no fuch trouble to come at their treafure.
