Hi Steemers! I'd like to tell you about How make frames for the hive Dadant!
Here is what we have now should get!
Who is Charles Dadant?
Charles Dadant was a French-American beekeeper. Along with Petro Prokopovych, Dadant is considered one of the founding fathers of modern beekeeping.
Tools and materials:
- dry thin billets from the slats (the example and the dimensions in the photo below);
- hammer;
- steel wire;
- awl;
- pliers with wire cutters;
- Shoe nails.
Produce a frame.
The size of the frames of the hive Dadana 12 and 10 to the frame structure does not differ among themselves, and their production are identical. The size of this frame should be 43,5h30 see Take cooked dry billet rails and with the help of nails and hammer connect them as shown in the photo.

The process of connecting strips
Digging the holes for the wire with an awl
With an awl make holes for the wire in the side rails.
Pulled through the holes the wire and, with the awl and pliers, hold it.
Through the last hole make a loop and fasten a stretched wire as shown in the photo. Bites off all the excess with pliers.
Ale Op, all is ready!
All the frame is ready. Now after the procedure of waxing, it is possible to use it.
I like bees and honey.
Thank you for your attention!
