E ASU Rl NG BEES 



The ordinary human being 

 would consider it the height of 

 folly to waste his time measur- 

 ing so tiny an obJect as a bee, yet 

 that is precisely what iiad to be 

 done in order to be able to manu- 

 facture honey-boards that would 

 exclude the queens and drones 

 and allow the workers to pass. 

 One of the most ingenious of the 

 many machines used for the 

 manufacture of bee supplies is 

 tiie one shown in the accompany- 

 ing illustration, which pei'forates 

 the zinc sheets so as to leave

openings of exactly 1G3-1000 of 

 an inch wide. If you have ever 

 tried to measure fractions of an 

 incli you will readily understand 

 that such a machine must, of 

 necessity, be absolutely accurate 

 and exact. 



Root's queen-excluding honey- 

 boards are guaranteed to exclude 

 all but the very young virgin 

 queens. They may be obtained 

 from anyone of the many dealers 

 handling Root's goods. 



Root's Goods have a uni- 

 versal reputation.
