Mexico as a Bee-Country 



B. A. Hadsell. one of the most experienced 

 and largest bee-keepers in the world— has 

 made six trips to Mexico, investigating that 

 place 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 ?2-paee book- 

 let, describing the tropics of Mexico as a 

 Bee-Man's Paradise, which is also superior 

 as a farming, stock-raisingandfruit country. 

 Where mercury ranges between 55 and q8 

 Frost and sun-stroke is unknown. Aiso a 

 great healtli resort. He will mail this book 

 Free by addressing. 7Ai2t
