Our vast experience with the Root Company, and our father. A. d. Marchant. enables us to know what the trade wants and needs. 

 and we are well equipped to take care of any and all orders regardless of size. Our aim is to carry surplus so as to be enabled to fill all 

 orders by return mail and on the day they fall due. Our stock is of the three-band Italian, and has stood the test for 20 years. There is 

 none better. We have sold the A. I. Root Company two cars of bees and several hundred queens, and will sell again this season. 



We guarantee safe arrival, freedom from disease, pure mating, no inbreeding, and your money refunded if not satisfied.
