Buying A Hive Of Bees

: BIRDS AND BEASTS.
: Welsh Folk-lore

In the central parts of Denbighshire people suppose that a hive of bees,

if bought, will not thrive, but that a present of a hive leads to its

well-doing.



A cottager in Efenechtyd informed the writer that a friend gave her the

hive she had, and that consequently she had had luck with it; but, she

added, had I bought it, I could not have expected anything from it, for

bought hives do badly. This was in the centre of Denbighshire.
