"OUR BEES ARE GENTLE." 



This stock was opened and combs distributed without the use of smoke or other 

 subjugator, and was the first time these children had handled bees. 



Our Motto : 



" Quality first, Quality last, and Quality all the way in 

 between." 



Our Endeavour : 



" To produce the best possible Stock, and give the 

 greatest possible value." 



Our Reputation : 



The Editor of the " British Bee Journal " says : 



" Mr. Claridge has a reputation second to none for the 

 quality of the nuclei sent out by him, and the same may 

 be said of his queens. Nothing better than the ' Claridge 

 Quality ' nuclei can be obtained, a three-comb nucleus 

 having all three combs packed with brood. . ."
