gamekeeper found that "A rowing col.

Tree fifty or sixty feet above the

a shot which cut away the Dough from
which the bees hung from the tree.
They fell like bunch Of grapes on to
the cloth, and "skep" was immedi.
ately placed over them. The swarm
weighed nearly five pounds, and the
bees appeared to be none the worse
for their treatment.
