Bee Keeping: Mysteries Of Bee-keeping Explained

When all are in, except a few that will be flying, let the hive down

close to the board; take hold of this and carry it at once to the stand

they are to occupy, and raise the front edge half an inch; let the back

rest on the board; this will give them means to re-ascend, if they

chance to drop, which large swarms often do in hot weather. If the

bottom is an inch or more from the board when the bees fall, there is

nothing to prevent their rushing out on every side--their means of

getting up again are bad--if the queen comes out with the rush, there

are some chances for their leaving.
