The plants will be quite ready for their final destination next spring. In order to save the seed of thyme, which ripens in July, it must be taken without delay, as the first rain would wash it all out of the husks. H 86 THE apiafiIan's manual. Fresh Pasture. — There are few places so happily situated as to afford a sufficiency of pasture for bees alike during spring, summer, and autumn ; the low country has the advan- tage in the early part of the season, and the upland districts and mountains... in autumn. The extreme distance to which bees fly for food cannot be easily ascertained. Mr. Huish informs us that he once observed bees busily employed on heath on the Isle of May, which is farther than four miles from any other land, while not a single hive of bees was kept upon the island. However this may be, it is well known, that, after the first week of August, when the white clover and other flowers of the low grounds are decayed, hives cease to improve though situated only one mile and a quarter from an abundance of heath, and if the distance is two miles, their weight diminishes rapidly, while those placed beside this rich pasture on the first of August, in ordinary seasons, make an addi- tion to their weight of from 15 to 30ft.
