with any infectious, contagious or communicable disease, then said 
honey shall be forthwith passed by said inspector and said in- 
spector shall thereupon furnish to the importer thereof a permit to 
land the same or to remove the same from the dock as the case 
may be. 
In case such honey shall not bear upon its containers, or shall 
not be accompanied by a certificate from a duly qualified officer 
as aforesaid that the same comes from healthy colonies of bees 
as above set forth, then such inspector shall cause said honey to 
be removed to some place there to undergo such tests as the 
Board shall from time to time prescribe to determine whether or 
not said honey, honey-dew or syrup containing honey is infected 
with any infectious, contagious or communicable disease. Upon 
the completion of such tests said inspector shall certify his find- 
ings. If said honey shall be found free from any diseases as 
above set forth said inspector shall so certify and shall thereupon 
deliver such honey, honey-dew or syrup containing honey to the 
said importer. If, however, such honey shall be found infected 
with any infectious, contagious or communicable disease, the in- 
spector shall forthwith notify the importer of such fact and such 
importer shall have a reasonable time thereafter to return or 
export said honey to some port without the Territory of Hawaii. 
But should said importer refuse to return or export said honey, 
or neglect so to do within a reasonable time, then said honey 
shall be destroyed in such manner as shall be determined by the 
Board.
