ing for orders he offers his prospective 

 customer a taste of honey. If there is 

 any hesitancy in getting a spoon, he 

 takes a square of paper from a pad that 

 he carries, and pours a small quantity 

 upon the square of paper. He also car- 

 ries a damp cloth in his pocket to clean 

 the jar if it becomes sticky. If they 

 begin to talk about adulteration and 

 imitation honey, he draws from his 

 pocket a photograph of his apiary, 

 showing himself in the yard, which 

 seems to create an impression that he 

 must be a "sure-enough " bee-man. In 

 taking orders he writes down simply 

 the street and number, not bothering 

 to get names. He canvasses two days, 

 and then delivers. Before starting out 

 to deliver he takes a piece of paste- 

 board and draws a map of the district 

 in which he has to deliver, marking 

 out the streets and numbers where he 

 has to call and the amounts to deliver, 

 thus being able to lay out a route to 

 the best advantage. — Bee-Keepers' Re- 

 view. 



The Globe Bee=Veil. — One can wear 

 any kind of hat with it except a plug, 

 and his face will be absolutely pro- 

 tected. Besides the convenience of 

 wearing the every-day head-gear that 

 always feels comfortable, one has the 

 added security, real as well as fancied, 

 of having the veil held clear away from 

 the neck, face and head by means of the 

 skeleton-like globe steel springs. 



Yesterday at our out-yard, when two 

 or three of the crossest bees made a 

 dive for the back of my neck, I did not 

 have the feeling that perhaps the veil 

 was touching me at some spot where 

 the rascals could get in a good jab. No, 

 I had the satisfaction of knowing that 

 those parts were invulnerable. At an- 

 other time, when I received an on- 

 slaught from a hive of cross bees, and 

 which stand as guardians over the 

 whole apiary against the intrusions of 

 thieves, I had the pleasure of seeing 

 (even tho at close range) that my nose 

 was a good big inch from the mesh of 

 the veil. 



I am not sure but if I were to work 

 in the apiary day in and day out that 

 I would use it exclusively ; for one of 

 the things I do like is to wear a hat I 

 am used to. The ordinary cap will not 

 support the average veil in a way that 

 protects one properly, and I very often 

 wear a cap, and with that the globe is 

 just the thing. — E. R. Root, in Glean- 

 ings in Bee-Culture. 



Introducing Queens. — The best pos- 

 sible plan for an expert may be a very 

 poor one for a novice. To illustrate : 

 I have for the past two years guaran- 

 teed the safe introduction of the queens 

 that I have sold. Last year I advised 

 the caging of the queen against the 

 side of a comb of hatching brood. 

 There were some failures ; mostly, I 

 believe, thru lack of thoroness in de- 

 tails — the management was such that 

 the bees burrowed under the cage and 

 releast the queen too soon. This year 

 I am advising purchasers to let the 

 bees release the queen by eating out 

 the candy from the end of the ship- 

 ping-cage ; taking the extra precaution 

 to have all of the brood removed from 

 the colony until the queen begins lay- 

 ing. The failures are very few, in- 

 deed. I think, however, that the only 

 really infallible method is to release 

 the queen upon combs of hatching
