TESTING DADANT'S 

 FOUNDATION 



From the first year of sale of Dadant's Foundation the Dadant firm 

 had at least three hundred colonies of bees. 



The tests for satisfactory foundation were made with their own bees, 

 their aim being to manufacture and sell only such goods as would be 

 satisfactory to their own bees, in their own apiary. 



Every square inch equal to sample in every respect was the aim, and it 



was done at all times as 

 thousands can testify who 

 have used these goods. 

 Not satisfied with the mills 

 they were using, they tried 

 different workmen until 

 they got a mill that would 

 make a foundation without 

 " Fishbone," as the bee- 

 keeper called it; and also 

 got mills that would make 

 foundation of different 

 weights from five square 

 feet to the pound for brood 

 to thirteen square feet for 

 sections. 



A DADANT APIARY 



Now the Dadant Apiaries have increased to nearly a thousand colonies 

 in ten apiaries. The different locations give a chance for tests in heavy 

 flows, in light flows, in a dearth, for fall crop, for spring. All, so that 

 the proper tests can be made, and only the most satisfactory foundation 

 sent out to the many customers.
