Modified Dadant Hive
From the Editor Jerry Hayes
Last year about this time I re-discovered the ‘Modified Dadant Hive’ as I was thinking about Brother Adam at Buckfast Abbey. The amazing carpenter, builder and contributor to Bee Culture, Ed Simon shared several months of articles with you, all focused on how to build a Modified Dadant Hive with all its parts and pieces. Ed cut out all the parts and pieces and sent them to me for assembly. I did it and made splits from my colonies, installed them and watched to see what happened.
The following photos and captions will give you an idea of this first year.
