Vlll BIOGRAPHY OP CHARLES DADANT. 



tinued to do so until his methods were adopted, especially in 

 Switzerland, France, Italy and Russia, where the hive which 

 he recommended is now known under his name. Tor twenty 

 years he was a regular contributor to the Eevue Internationale 

 D'Apiculture, and, as a result, there is probably not another 

 bee-writer whose name is so thoroughly known the world over. 



iir. Dadant was made an honorary member of more than 

 twenty bee-keepers' associations throughout the world and his 

 death, which occurred July 16, 1902, was lamented by every 

 bee publication on both continents. 



Mr. Dadant was a congenial man and a philosopher. He 

 retained his cheerfulness of spirit to his last day. 



In addition to his supervision of the revision of this book, 

 he was the author of a small treatise on bees, "Petit (!'ours 

 d'Apieulture Pratique." He also published, in connection with 

 his son, a pamphlet on "Extracted Honey," 1881, now out of 

 print.
