"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?

him--and that was one fire out of five fires that where set-they had called in boraed bombers from
cal fire and helicopters and road closers--gona cost $$-  RDY-B

But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

I work for a wholesale flower distributor and when I file claims for losses (due to the shipping carrier errors) I can claim the cost of the product plus profit I would have made on the product.  Make sure you get your fair share.  how much honey or profits would they have brought in for you?  Just something to think about.  Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for the loss.

There was a train derail here several years ago, one of the tank cars spilled acid all over the place and forced and emergency evacuation of the immediate area (read "you must leave right now"). My aunt and uncle were in this area, the r/r paid for motel, eats, clothes (no time to pack up anything), and basically anything they had a receipt for. Some other friends had a horse stable and they paid for relocating the horses to another stable and all labor, feed, boarding, etc.
It was a very painless thing, the r/r set up at a local church and was just writing checks.

Be sure to have any receipts for you equipment, and bring in any supporting paper work for lost revenue (think last year). You have an independent pic of your hives, if no receipt make a list and put pricing to it from a catalog and take the catalog with you when you are making your claim, don't forget to include price of bees themselves.
