Very simply, the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong Deep hive is a Deep National with a back extension, so avoiding the need for an extra hive when making an artifi cial swarm. New Beekeeping has now\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebeen developed into a comprehensive system for keeping bees for recreation, in safety and with maximum enjoyment. The system minimises labour - and more\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethan halves the heaviest lifting involved in using a conventional National hive \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBees can be kept in a wide range of gardens - but operating the hive must be safe both for the beekeeper and neighbours. There must be a reliable management approach to avoid the issue of swarms. Hives should also look good and add to the attractiveness of the garden. Junk such as odd stands, piles of old supers and even rarely used nucleus hives should be avoided. A Dartington Long Deep hive includes all the space and features that are needed to manage a colony throughout the whole of the season, without additional boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe management system for the Dartington Long Deep Hive is fully described in the Manual of New Beekeeping - a 100-page booklet containing many colour illustrations.
