אֵין אוֹבְסִין אֶת הַגָּמָל, וְלֹא דוֹרְסִין, אֲבָל מַלְעִיטִין. וְאֵין מַמְרִים אֶת הָעֲגָלִים, אֲבָל מַלְעִיטִין. וּמְהַלְקְטִין לַתַּרְנְגוֹלִין. וְנוֹתְנִין מַיִם לַמֻּרְסָן, אֲבָל לֹא גוֹבְלִים. וְאֵין נוֹתְנִין מַיִם לִפְנֵי דְבוֹרִים וְלִפְנֵי יוֹנִים שֶׁבַּשֹּׁבָךְ, אֲבָל נוֹתְנִין לִפְנֵי אֲוָזִים וְתַרְנְגוֹלִים וְלִפְנֵי יוֹנֵי הָרְדְּסִיּוֹת:

It is not permitted to gorge (ein ovsin) a camel ["ovsin" — to make an avus (a manger) in its stomach] (on Shabbath), and it is not permitted to stuff it [to stuff the food into its throat — less than "ovsin"], but it is permitted to put food into its mouth [in a spot whence it can give it back]. And it is not permitted to fatten (ein mamrim) calves ["mamrim," as in (Isaiah 1:11): "vechelev meri'im" ("and the fat of fatted beasts"), sticking the food behind the throat, in a spot where the animal cannot give it back], but it is permitted to put food into their mouths. And it is permitted to stick food into the mouths of hens [in a spot whence they can give it back.] And it is permitted to place water in their hash, but it is not permitted to knead it [in the water]. And it is not permitted to place water before bees, [it not being incumbent upon him to feed them, for they go out and eat in the field, and water is available for them in swamps], nor before pigeons in the cote. But it is permitted to place it before geese and hens and before hard'sioth doves, [which are domesticated in houses, so called after King Hordos (Herod), who raised them in his palace.]

Tosefta Beitzah (Lieberman)

One may set up a feeding place for a swarm of bees, so that they will not fly away; but one must not catch him in advance.
