Uktzin 3:9 - 3:10

חלב בהמה טהורה – that became ritually forbidden by unskillful slaughtering,

is pure from the defilement of carrion, as it is written (Leviticus 7:24): “Fat from animals that died or were torn by beasts may be put to any use, [but you must not eat it],” which implies even Holy Service.

לפיכך הוא צריך הכשר – and since that it will not ultimately become a heavy defilement, for this, we hold in the first chapter of [Tractate] Taharot [Mishnah 3), for everything that ultimately doesn’t defile in a grave manner, that is to defile a person and vessels, requires preparation.

חלב בהמה טומאת נבלות – for the Torah did not purify other than the fat of a ritually pure animal that became forbidden by unskillful slaughtering, which excludes the fat of an unclean animal which lacks being torn apart [by a beast of prey], because its being torn and its slaughter are equivalent.

ואין צריך הכשר – for defilement of food if he combined less than an olive’s bulk with less than an egg’s bulk, as explained above (Mishnah 3), but intention is certainly required, for something regarding meat requires intention as is taught in the Mishnah above (Mishnah 3).

וצריך מחשבה בכפרים - but not in the marketplaces [for unclean fish and locusts]. But preparation is required in every place.

כוורת דברים וכו' – if it (i.e., the beehive) is attached with plaster, everyone admits/agrees that it is like land/real estate (i.e., the ground) for all things, but if it was placed on pegs, everyone admits that is like vessels. But they didn’t disagree other than when it is placed on the ground and is not attached with plaster.

ר' אליעזר אומר הרי היא כקרקע – and it is acquired by money, a document or a claim of undisturbed possession like land/real estate (i.e., the ground) .

וכותבין עליה פרוזבול – a document that the Jewish court writes to the lender/creditor that transferred to them every debt that he has [to collect’ – so that the Seventh Year would not cause a cancellation of the debt, and we don’t write a Prozbul (i.e., a declaration made in court, before the execution of a loan, to the effect that the law of limitation by the entrance to the Sabbatical Year shall not apply to the loan to be transacted) other than on land/real estate, meaning to say, that when the borrower has real estate/land and he has a beehive, it is similar to land/real estate, and we write upon it a Prozbul [document] to the creditor.

ואינה מקבלת טומאה במקומה – for it is like it would be attached and is not susceptible to receive ritual defilement.

והרודה – from the honeycombs that are within it on the Sabbath, he is liable for a sin-offering, like someone who detaches something from the place where it is attached, as it is written (I Samuel 14:27): “And he (I.e., Jonathan) dipped it into the beehive of honey [and brought his hand back to his mouth and his eyes lit up], but what connection has the forest with honey, but rather just as the forest, he who plucks/detaches from it on the Sabbath is liable for a sin-offering, even honey that one removes [from the beehive]] on the Sabbath is liable for a sin-offering. (This Bartenura to Tractate Shevi’it, Chapter 10, Mishnah 7 adds that the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Eliezer).
