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.
