Dadant Hive 3D model

The famous inventor in the field of beekeeping Charles Dadan was born in France in 1817. In 1863, his family immigrated to America. Throughout his life, Dadan studied the designs of other inventors, such as Langstrot, James Quibi Moses and others. Dadan also made his calculations, for example, he calculated that a young uterus could lay up to three thousand eggs a day.

He calculated that to fill honeycombs with honey, bees need about 1,600 cells per day. So he realized that the hive needed twelve Quinby frames, the total of which the number of cells would be 10,500. Based on his calculations and drawings of other hives, Dadan invented his hive. The hive of Dadan immediately gained popularity, beekeepers from all over the world began to use it willingly.
