box or other container in which it shall have been imported and 
shall transfer it to a new and clean cage properly supplied with 
clean and fresh candy and with sufficient bees known to be free 
from disease to properly care for said queen bee. 
(4) . Certificate. The inspector shall thereupon give to the 
importer a certificate of his findings upon such inspection and de-
