DADANT & SONS, Hamilton, III, EggMgCTpgjiigMB^i^iamma^^ THE LARGE HIVE More and more beekeepers are realizing the value of a hive with large brood chamber for extracted honey production. We have, ourselves, for years, used and advocated a large hive. The original Dadant Hive, however did not win favor with a majority of bee- keepers since its large telescope cover and complex construction made it very expensive; and, moreover, it did not lend itself readily to the use of Langstroth equipment. It is with the object of combining all the advantages of the large hive with economy of construction and availability of existing equipment that we have evolved and now offer THE MODIFIED DADANT HIVE.
