J. E. HAND 



the Veteran Queen-speciaUst 



WILL begin the season of 1911 with 

 greatly improved facilities for 

 rearing the choicest queens. . . Our 

 queens are not only large, vigorous, 

 handsome, and prolific, but by reason 

 of a judicious system of line breeding 

 they have the power to transmit inher- 

 ent tendencies of a highly desirable na- 

 ture, such as hardiness, gentleness, and 

 industry, as well as uniformity of mark- 

 ing, which makes them especially val- 

 uable as breeders. Every queen is war- 

 ranted to produce uniformly marked 

 bees of superior honey-gathering qual- 

 ities. Don't take chances. Get the 

 real thing. Warranted. $1.00; six, $5.00; 

 dozen, $9.00. Tested, $.1.25. Breeders, 

 $5.00. Half pound of bees, no queen, 

 $1.00. Three (L) frame nucleus, no 

 queen, $3.25. No selection, therefore 

 no culls, and a square deal for all. Val- 

 uable information free for your address.

 In the latter the grate is under, that it may have a full 

 head of smoke ready on the job at a touch of bellows. 



The perpendicular FIRE-DRAFT GRATE, forcing 

 air BOTH WAYS, makes and COOLS the smoke, 

 forming a DOUBLE FIRE-WALL for SECURELY
