2010 Reprint of original 1934 edition. The Dadant family,
originally from France, is one the first families of beekeeping in
America. Charles Dadant (1817-1902) is considered one of the
founding fathers of modern beekeeping. He was always seeking a
better way to keep bees. Just as he had begun with the old European
"eke," he quickly abandoned that kind of beekeeping for the modern
Langstroth hive concept. Bee hives have often been designed and
built without regard for the needs and habits of the honey bee
colony. Probably the best design for a colony was the large hive
developed by Charles Dadant. It provided a large, deep brood
chamber with plenty of room in which the queen could lay, and
shallower supers for honey storage. However, the price and
promotion of smaller hives offered for sale during the period from
about 1885 to 1900 made them more popular. Charles son, Camille
Pierre Dadant, authored First Lessons in Beekeeping, a standard and
still important work on this subject. Dadant's book and its
succeeding editions have been America's first stop for beginning
beekeepers for over 90 years. Lavishing illustrated with
photographs.
