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
