American l^ee Journal 



Muth Ideal Bee-Veil Free as Premium. 



The Muth Veil is made of liglit-weight 

 indestructible wire and strong cambric, and 

 will last a lifetime. I'its nicely around 

 either a straw hat or a derby, and is easily 

 put on or off in a jiflfy. 



It is comfortable, and there is no chance 

 for a bee to crawl up under it when properly 

 adjusted, 



The Muth Ideal Veil cannot be blown in- 

 to your eyes, nor stick to your face, and does 

 not obstruct your view in the least. When 

 catching a swarm in a tree or bush, it cannot 

 hang on the twigs to be torn to shreds as 

 some other Veils do. 



Price, postpaid. 75 cents; or with the 

 American Bee Journal a year — both for $1.60 

 or Free as a premium for sending us 2 new 

 subscribers at $1.IK) each.

Celluloid Queen-Buttons 



These are very pretty tlunt,'S for bee-keep- 

 ers or honcy-seilers to wear on their cniir. 

 lapels. They often serve to introduce the 

 subject of Iioney, wliicii miglit frequently 

 lead to a sale. 



Note. — One beekeeper writes: "I have 

 every reason to believe tliat it would be a 

 very good idea for every bee- 

 keeper to wear one [of these 

 buttons], as it will cause peo- 

 ple to ask questions about 

 the busy bee. and many a 

 I conversation thus started 

 wind up with the sale of 

 more or less honey; at any 

 rate it would give the bee- 

 keeper a superior opportu- 

 nity to enlighten many a person in regard to 

 honey and bees." 



The picture shown above is a reproduc- 

 tion of a motto Queen-button that we offer 

 to bee-keepers. It has a pin on the under- 

 side to fasten it. 



Prices— by mail— I for 6 cts.; 2 for 10 cts.; 

 or for 25 cts. Address.
