I seldom or never take any from those that >iave swarmed, because they are thereby very much weakened. Good sense must here du-ect the pro- prietor. 41 The only fixed rule which can be laid down is, never to take the capes that are not quite fill- ed, unless the hive happens to be very large, as there is always abundance of honey when the laboiu'ers determine to go to work in the capes. But beware of taking half-filled capes from small or middling sized hives : restitution will repair but a sma...ll portion of the evil this will do them. CHAPTER XI. HOW TO EXPEL THE BEES FROM THE CAPES. It is in the heat of the day that the honey should be taken from the capes. A number of bees will always be found (commissioned no doubt) to guard the treasure. Various methods are resorted to, to expel them without smoking. Some carry the cape to a dis- tance from the apiary, turn it upside down, rest it on the ground, and cover it with a napkin, leaving on one side a space of about a finger- length uncovered, to allow an exit to the bees.
