Hives of the size Dadant US are characterized by the fact that the hive can be kept on a brood chamber. One or two honey chambers are then often placed on top of the hive. The size of the brood and honey chambers is 50.5 x 50.5 cm. In a Dadant US hive there are 12 windows. You can choose to place the windows by means of distance strips or hang them 'loose' in the hive using Hoffmann windows. (It is also possible to work with 10 windows).
