Here is a Scientific Fa& That Will Interest E'very Beekeeper 



1 ities have estimatcil liiat it takes about 15 pounds of honey to pro- 

 ilace one pound of beesVvax, such as is used in inakiiig foundation. In other Avords, 

 if the bees have to draw out combs without having full sheets of foundation to 

 start on, they consume about 15 pounds of lioncv for each pound of wax pro- 

 duced in comb-building. If given comb foundation to work upon, this much 



li ' ' ^aved per pound of foundation used.

Our New Indestructible Combs 



For years we liave i)een experimenting on non-sagging, indestructible wax 

 foundation. Our experiments have included wires incorporated in the comb 

 foundation, foundation with wire-cloth base, as well as foundation having a base 

 of thin sheet metal, celluloid, cloth, bakelite, cardboard, fibre and wood veneer. 

 So far, the wood-base foundation is away ahead of anything else Ave have tried 

 out. Made up with the thin top-bar frame, allowing for two full rows of added 

 cell-space, these combs allow from 20% to 25% more worker brood area, as no 

 drone comb is made on these combs. Sagging is impossible. 



We are now in position to furnish beekeepers with a few frames with this 

 foundation for experimental purposes. Supplied only in thin top-bar frames ready 

 for use at 50c each, or $5.00 for 10. For the present season we will not be able 

 to sujjply more than 10 frames to any one beekeeper, as we are already far behind 

 on orders. 



We would like the opinion of beekeepers on this new product.
