Testing Dadants Foundation 



From the Jirst year uJ' Hiile of DADANT'W FOUNDATION the Dadjint 

 iiriii had at least three hundred colojiies of bees. 



Th(^ tests for satisfai-toi'v foundation \vere made with tlieir own bees, 

 tlieir aim being to nmnufactiire and sidl only sueh goods as would be satis- 

 factory to their own bees, in tlieir own apiary. 



Ever}' square iindi e<|ual to sample in every respect was the aim, and it 

 was done at all times as thousantls can testify who have used these goods.. 



Not satisfied AA'ith tiie juills they were using, they tried diiferent Avork- 

 men until they got a mill that wouUl make a foundation without "fishbone," 

 as the beekeeper 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 I);i(l;iiit Apiary 



Now the Dadant apiaries ha\e inereased to neaidy a thousand cohjnies 

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

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

 proper tests can be made, and only the most satisfactoi'y foundation sent 

 out to the manv customers.
