Danzenbaker hive, but I see you do not like it as well as the 

 S-frame Langstroth. 



A. I know of no reason why it should be easier. If you take 

 into account taking out and putting back frames, it is harder. 



Q. I have been looking through the American Bee Journal for 

 dimensions of the Dadant hive and frame about which I -wrote 



Fig. 20, Cross-section of the Dadant hive cls taken from "Langstroth Revised." 



Mr, Dadant some months ago, but cannot find them. Will you 

 kindly give them in the replies to queries? The expense of get- 

 ting a sample hive here is too great. 



A, The dimensions of the Dadant hive are not given in any 

 previous number of the American Bee Journal; they are to be 

 found only in the Langstroth-Dadant book and in Bertrand's 

 "Conduite du Rucher" (Conduct of the Apiary), which has been 

 published in eight different languages. The dimensions of the 

 frame are about the same as those of the original Quinby mova- 

 ble frame. The hive is especially adapted to the production of 

 extracted honey, and that is why it is very much more widely 

 used in the countries where modern beekeepers can secure almost 

 as much for extracted per pound as for section honey.
