Langstroth bees had been kept only in boxes and sleeps. Langstroth saw the need of more easily handled combs: He perfected the movable frame hive, using the size frame now so commonly known. d. Moses Quinby, accepting the movable feature of Langstroth, was quick to see that a deeper frame would provide a more complete circle for the egg-laying queen, and would provide more honey l. l. Langstroth over the brood for wintering. Yet he confined his queens and bees to a hive with only eight of the Quinby frames. He still had a relatively small hive but with the proper depth. C, Charles Dadant accepted the views of both Langstroth and Quinby, but ex- perimented further with different size hives. The result of his many and varied experiments led him to the conclusion that a hive with ten Quinby frames produced strong colo- nies and large honey crops with a minimum of swarming. C. The Original Dadant Hive did not adapt itself to the use of the great amount of Langstroth equipment already in use. Moreover it was very expensive. To remedy these two drawbacks, we have evolved and now offer The Modified Dadant Hive —.
