 THE IDEAL BEE VEIL 



Oftentimes when out in the yard workinj^ with the bees one stcjops over to 

 pick out a frame, and as usual bees keep buzzinj^ around one's head, watch- 

 ing for a chance to stinj^. Tiie IDEAL BEE VEIL is constructed of cloth 

 of wire, there being a cord at the top of the veil used to pull the cloth 

 around the crown of the hat. The lower part also has a cord which fastens 

 ai'ound the waist. The wire on the IDEAL does not strike the face and 

 l)i'events the bees from stinging. It can be readily seen that a veil of this 

 kind has the cloth veil far out distanced for comfort and utility. Sparks 

 from the smoker does not burn holes in the IDEALS as the netting veil. 

 The veil is manufactured by us and is recognized by the best and largest 

 beekeepers as the most jjractical veil on the market.
