THE IDEAL BEE VEIL 



Oftentimes when out in the yard working with the bees one stoops over to 

 pick out a frame, and as usual bees keep bu7.zint,' around one's head, watch- 

 ing for a chance to sting. Tlie IDEAI^ BP:E VEIL is constructed of cloth 

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

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

 around the waist. The wire on the IDEAL does not strike the face and 

 prevents the bees from stinging;. It can be readily seen that a veil of tbi.s 

 kind lias the cloth veil far out distiuiced for comfort and utility. S])arks 

 fi-om the smoker does not burn holes in the IDEALS as the netting veil. 

 The veil is manufactured by us and is recognized by the be.st and largest 

 beekeejiers as the most practical veil on the market.

P'ourth— An efticient method of presenting facts and reasons for the wider use 

 of honey in cooking, in the arts, manufactures, and on the table, to the people who 

 who would use it if they knew. 



Fifth— An association of beekeepers who will carry these things forward to a
