DR. MILLER'S 
Danzenbaker hive, but I see you do not like it as well as the 
8-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 as 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.
