Dadant system of beekeeping dadantsystemofbe00dada Year: 1920 DADANT SYSTEM OF BEEKEEPING 43 ng the Quinby depth of hive, to adopt the Langstroth length, which is iys inches shorter. Not that we believe the Quinby- Dadant hive too long, but because, had we adopted the Langs- troth length, many manipulations wouid have been possible Fig. 24. The story and a half Modified Dadant hive with a combination of the two. Thus, although we do not propose to change the length of our hives, after using so many during more than a half century, yet we are quite free to advise the use of the hive called in Europe the 'Dadant-Blatt' and in this country the 'Modified Dadant.' But in using a style similar to the Jumbo, we do not recom- mend the narrow spacing of li inches from center to center for brood frames as made in the Jumbo. We insist on the style of spacing which we have found very superior, already mentioned, of lH inches from center to center, for the brood frames. This was already mentioned in the chapter on 'frame spacing.' In addition to the advantages mentioned there, we will soon describe another having to do with swarm prevention. The bottom board of a simplified Dadant hive may be made plain, as in the common movable-frame hives sold by dealers.
