BEE-KEEPERS' SUPPLIES 



Not Responsible 



We can assume no responsibility if any of the nuclei should develop disease, owing to the 

 fact that foul brood already exists in a good many localities and is liable to break out in others 

 from infection already present in such localities. Our bees are under constant inspection. We 

 take extraordinary precautions and guarantee that no disease is present in any of our yards at 

 time shipment is made. In addition to this will say our bees are inspected each year by our 

 State Foul Brood Inspector or his deputies. According to our Vermont State law we are 

 not allowed to ship bees from any yard until it has been given a clean bill of health by State 

 Inspector. To those who desire further precaution we would advise them to purchase bees by 

 the pound after June 1st. 



Bees by the Pound 



We have been having an unusual large call the 

 past few seasons for bees by the pound and half pound 

 packages, and it is a very good way to get a start, if 

 you have old combs or odd size frames you wish 

 to use. The express charges are small in comparison- 

 to express charges on nuclei or full colonies. We 

 have spared no pains to get as light a package as pos- 

 sible and yet strong enough to stand shipping. We 

 cannot take a pound of bees from a colony in May 

 or fore part of June without ruining the whole colony, 

 consequently vie cannot ship bees without comb be- 

 fore June 1.
