MODIFIED DADANT HIVE 



Glance at the 11 frames, 

 spaced 1% inches from 

 center to center, 11% 

 inches deep of the Modi- 

 fied Dadant hive, giving 

 adequate room for brood 

 and stores in one hive 

 body. 



Note the outlines of the 

 standard 10-frame Hoff- 

 man depth hive body 

 compared to the Modi- 

 fied Dadant body. You 

 can see why m ore 

 swarms and less surplus 

 come from small hives.
