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 32-page book- 

 let, describing the tropics of Mexico as a 

 Bee-Man's Paradise, which is also superior 

 as a farming, stock-raising and fruit country. 

 Where mercury ranges between ;3 and «8 

 Frost and sunstroke is unknown. Also a 

 great health resort. He will mail this book

Muth Ideal Bee-Veil Free as Premium. 



The Muth Veil is made of light-weight 

 indestructible wire and strong cambric, and 

 will last a lifetime. Kits nicely around 

 either a straw hat or a derby, and is easily 

 put on or off in a jiffy. 



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.
