Mexico as a Bee-Country 



B. A. Hadsell. of Buckeye. Arizona— one of 

 the largest bee-keepers in the world— has 

 made six trips to Mexico, investigating that 

 country as a bee-country, and is so infat- 

 uated with it that he is closing out his bees 

 in Arizona. He has been to great expense 

 in getting up a finely illustrated 32-page book- 

 let, describing the tropics of Mexico as a 

 Bee-Man's Paradise, which is also superior 

 as a farming, stock-raisingand fruit country. 

 Where mercury ranges between 55 and 'iH 

 Frost and sun-stroke is unknown. Also a 

 great health resort. He will mail this book 

 by addressing. 7Ai2t

Missouri-Bred Queens ! 



My strain of bees is ihe result of many 

 years' breeding and selection. I believe 

 they are equal to any. and surpassed by 

 none. They are long-lived, winter well. 

 breed early, and are unexcelled honey-get- 

 ters. The workers are long-bodied, good- 

 sized bees, uniformly marked with bands of 

 orange yellow. They are good comb-build- 

 ers, gentle and easy to handle, and yet pro- 

 tect their homes from robbers. You will 

 make no mistake in introducing these 



aueens into your apiary. I guarantee safe 

 elivery at your post office, and make a spe- 

 cialty of long and difficult shipments. I en- 

 deavor to keep a large supply of queens 

 on hand. Prices as foUows:
