Dadant Blatt Hive box (Super) - 12 Frames - 300 mm - with Rails

Dadant Blatt Deep Brood Box

For a strong and healthy bee colony, it is important to offer the bees sufficient space for natural development, queen laying, and safe overwintering. This Dadant Blatt deep brood box for frames measuring 470 x 435 x 300 mm provides a generous brood chamber that meets the needs of modern beekeeping. The queen has plenty of room for laying, and the colony can develop without unnecessary restriction. A properly managed spacious brood chamber helps reduce the swarming impulse, supports the building of strong generations of bees, and improves the colony's readiness for the main honey flow.

Quality construction and comfortable work with the colony

The brood box is designed to facilitate the beekeeper's daily work during inspections and routine colony management. The construction features stainless steel frame runners, i.e., smooth rails for seating and sliding 12 frames. Thanks to these, the frames sit securely, are easier to handle, and their movement within the box is smoother. The stainless steel rails also help reduce frames being glued down with propolis, saving time when working in the hive and minimizing unnecessary disturbance of the bees. The solid wooden construction contributes to good insulation, stability of the hive space, and long service life of the brood box.

Practical advantages for your apiary

By purchasing this brood box, you will obtain a hive component that supports clear colony management and natural development throughout the season. The Dadant Blatt system, also known as Dadant Europe, is popular for its spacious brood chamber and straightforward working method. The colony has enough room in a single deep box for brood, stores, and the winter cluster, so there is no need to intervene in the brood chamber more often than necessary. The bees thus remain calmer, and the beekeeper gains more comfort, confidence, and time for efficient care of the entire apiary.
