I recently acquired a small catalogue of native English bees. There's no explicit date but based on a series of past customer testimonials which stop at February 1909 I'm going to hazard a guess that it was published for the 1909 season.
I'd be interested in any extra information if anyone has come across reference to this supplier previously.

That's interesting, Prakel. I wonder whether the Isle of Wight disease prompted an interest in breeding pure black bees (and then they gave up in their quest in 1909)?

Hi Adam, sorry for the slow response (I managed to misplace the catalogue!). Having finally stumbled across it I'm uploading the prices and a couple of other pages which may interest Kitta. The photos aren't brilliant, I'm using a rather poor quality camera at the moment but I hope they'll be clear enough.
