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 satis- 

 factory 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 work- 

 men until they got a mill that would 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 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.
