Explanation: The Mishnah and Beraisa are the same. "He is Mafri'ach (the buyer leaves with the seller) the first litter" in our Mishnah refers to the first litter of every mother. "This refers to the daughter", i.e. every mother, whether daughters or mothers ("mothers" are birds not born to birds of the dovecote).

Also the Beraisa means like this. "He is Mafri'ach the first and second litter", i.e. the first from the litter that he was Mafri'ach. It is the second [generation] from the mother of the first litter, that for its sake he is Mafri'ach these.

The same applies to the second [generation from the first litter] and (i.e. which is) third [from the first mother,] and [the third from the first litter, which is] fourth [from the mother], but the Tana is not a peddler (he need not elaborate to teach every matter).

Explanation #1 (Rashi): [It does not lose the status of a food] until he explicitly designates it for bees to eat.

Rebuttal (and Explanation #2 - Ri): Anything proper to eat, nothing helps [to make it lose the status of a food] until it is spoiled so much that a dog would not eat it.

Question (Ri): In Machshirin (6:4), the Mishnah considers honey amidst the seven drinks!

Answer (Ri): That is after it is separated from the wax. However, in the hive, when it is with the wax, it has the status of a food, and not a drink!

Explanation: He does not change the text of the Beraisa. Rather, it means as follows;

Honey in its hive is not a food and not a drink, regarding this, that if he intended to eat it, it should have Tum'as Ochlim.

Question: Also without buying, he has [rights to cut] from the bulge and above, due to the stipulation of Yehoshua (for the inheritance of Eretz Yisrael), like it says in Bava Kama (81a)!

Answer: This is not difficult at all. He may not cut without need, only for the sake of a young tree;

Also, it is permitted only from a new tree that does not make Peros, and from a place that does not make Peros, and from a place that does not see the sun, like it says there.

Also, there are several bulges in vines and reeds, and here [it is permitted] from the bottom, and there [due to Yehoshua's decree] from the top.

Observation: This is not precise, for if so, why is it forbidden in Shevi'is?

It says in Avodah Zarah (50b) that one may keep a tree alive, but one may not strengthen it!

Rather, it is not Vadai bad for it, and it does not [Vadai] help it. (However, perhaps it helps it, therefore it is forbidden in Shemitah.)

Question: It says in Avodah Zarah (14a) that Itzrobal is the fruit of the Arza!

Answer: There we discuss other kinds of cedar, which produce fruits. Here we discuss the kind that does not make fruits.

Implied question: It says in Avodah Zarah (14a) that Turanisa has no root!

Answer: That does not refer to Turanisa mentioned here. Rather, it is a different species;

Here we discuss a kind of cedar that has a root.
