GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



March, 1918 



Save Time -- Save Honey 



An article in a recent business magazine gave the details of. 

 a saving plan instituted by a factory employing 2000 men. By 

 installing time-saving machinery the firm figured that it saved 

 one hour's time of all its employees each week, or 2000 hours 

 per week for the factory. 



This, when totaled for the year, amounted to over $30,000 

 saving, a sum which more than paid for the small amount of 

 machinery required to start the time-saving plan. 



You are the Honey Factory Manager 

 Your Bees are the Employees 



They have a very short working season. All the more reason that 

 you should save every minute for them while there is honey in the 

 field to gather. 



If you can cut down the time required for them in the hive to build 

 combs by a few hours, you can increase their output just that much. 

 And you can do that very thing — Anyhow, others do it. Read — 



As far as I am concerned your Foundation 

 is in a class by itself, and the bees are of the 

 same mind, as I have tried putting one of 

 your sheets on one side and other makes on 

 the other side of the cluster, and they took 

 to yours like ducks to water.

When you place your order for foundation with your supply dealer 

 insist that he send you DADANT'S. If he won't furnish it, there are 

 plenty of dealers who will. Or order of us.

p. S. Conservation should be your watchword. Save every scrap of 



old comb, scrapings, etc.. and when vou have 25 pounds or more send 

 it to us. We can convert it into DADANT'S FOUNDATION for you.
