ADVANCE BEE-VEIL (postpaid) 50c 



Made of imported French tulle veiling, cotton with silk face, and cord 

 arrangenaent, which permits the wearer to handle bees in shirt sleeves, 

 with no chance of bees crawling up and under veil. With a hat of fair- 

 size brim you are as cool and comfortable, movements as free and unre- 

 stricted, and as secure from stings, as if you were at the sea-shore. No 

 wire screen dancing around and wearing the hide off the end of your nose, 

 and the cord arrangement does away with the hot, stuffy, uncomfortable 

 feeling of other veils. Bee-stingers are extra long in August; get our 

 veil by return mail and be comfortable. 



Here is what the general manager of the National Bee-keepers' Asso- 

 ciation has to say about the Advance Bee- Veil.

BREEDING- 

 QUEENS 



AT THIS SEASON OP THE YEAR better 

 queens are bred than at any other. This 



is natural, as the conditions are most fa- 

 vorable to a high organic development of the 

 queen. For this reason this is the time of times 

 to look around for a breeding-queen of high 

 quality. By watching the performance of a 

 queen now, we are in a good position to judge 

 what she can do. Those who intend to get a 

 new breeder for next season's operation ought 

 to bear this in mind and get in their order for 

 what they will need in ample time. Even if 

 they do not require the queen at once it would 

 be safer and better in every way to order now 

 what is needed. 



Spring compared with summer is a poor time 

 to order select breeding-queens by mail for 

 several reasons, and we advise parties desiring 

 an extra-tine breeder to send their orders now. 

 If desired we will retain the queen till next 

 spring, sending it at the first favorable oppor- 

 tunity. We desire to impress on our customers 

 that it takes careful observation during the 

 height of the breeding sfason to determine 

 just what a queen is worth as a breeder for 

 producing fancy stock. Prices are as folloivs: 



Breeding-queen $5.00 



■ Select breeding-queen 7.50 



Extra-select Breeding queen. .10 00 

 Special breeding-queens at $2.5.00 and up a mat- 

 ter of correspondence.
