10F Dadant brood beehive (without super)

When you start with a new hive, the last thing you want is loose parts or a lid that doesn’t fit properly. This Dadant US fixed hive with 10 wired Hoffmann frames arrives fully assembled, solid and ready to go from day one.

It is made from Galician pine (Pinus pinaster), a wood known for its stability and resistance to temperature changes. The timber is carefully dried to around 12% moisture, preventing warping and cracking over time.

No chemical treatments are applied to the wood, making the hive completely safe for bees, wax and honey. A phytosanitary heat treatment ensures durability and protects against fungi and pests without leaving residues.

The set includes a Dadant US brood body, a wooden bottom board with metal entrance, and a galvanised metal lid. Fully compatible with standard Dadant US supers.

The 10 wired Hoffmann frames arrive ready for wax foundation and immediate use in the brood chamber.

Important note: Dadant US is not the same as Dadant Blatt. The only difference is top bar length: 48 cm for Dadant US vs 47 cm for Dadant Blatt. Spain mainly uses US; France and Italy mostly use Blatt.

Technical specifications: Dadant US fixed hive with 10 wired Hoffmann frames; Galician pine (Pinus pinaster) dried to 12%; no chemical treatments; phytosanitary heat treatment; galvanised lid; wooden bottom board with metal entrance; compatible with Dadant US supers.
