THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 

 X'orthstar, Michigan 



put out of business or probably very- 

 few of them. If they can compete 

 with this new kind of competition- 

 COOPERAIION, they will demon- 

 strate their right to a place in the 

 honey distributing agencies of the 

 country. 



Organization for selling a stand- 

 ardized product at a better price is 

 a need, but organization for selling 

 a poor product at a better price is 

 an unworthy aim and if attempted 

 will meet with failure. And so 

 along with organization for selling 

 must go organization for education 

 to produce a standardized product. 

 A standardized product simplifies 

 selling and distributing to the min- 

 imtini. Go into the districts of 

 heavy commercial production in the 

 west and you find all the honey pro- 

 ducers using the same size section, 

 shipping case and grading rules. 

 Their methods of production are all 

 alike or nearly so. The supplies 

 in the main are all made by one 

 manufacturer which Is another ad- 

 vantage for uniformity. So when 

 these producers bring their pro- 

 duct together for loading a car it 

 is all uniform. The product is a 

 standardized product, and these dis- 

 tricts always are sought out by 

 the buyers for very obvious reasons. 



Go into another district and you 

 may find Standard two beeway 

 sections, three beeway and four bee- 

 way sections, tall sections, of sev- 

 eral different sizes, double tier 

 cases, single tier cases and all of 

 a oize to take their respective size 

 and style of section. And you will 

 find different grading rules also. 

 If yoji attempt to load a car of this 

 kind of honey it is a proposition 

 and is not the kind to suit the 

 dealer for he hardly knows what 

 he has got. 



We must standardize our goods and 

 to do so we have to conform to the 

 methods of the majority. Of course 

 if we are still independent enough 

 to look after marketing our own 

 honey we may get along; but the 

 beeman who has gone on that prin- 

 ciple in the west the past year has 

 had his troubles. He could not 

 compete with the better organized 

 associations. Education for stand- 

 ardization is a perennial program 

 for all beekeepers' organizations. 



California has had her rains and 

 things are looking encouraging for 

 her beekeepers; the prospects
