Hi Joanna & all
As the British National has smaller frames than the Dadant, it is possible
to strap the frames to temporary top bars (using wire) so that the National
frames will hang in the Dadant box alongside Dadant frames.
You will get a certain amount of burr comb formed in the spaces, but this
can be cleaned off at a later date as you work the National frames to one
side and then gradually remove them as they become empty.
The brace comb can be further reduced by strapping strips of wood to the
side bars of the National frames to make them of similar size to the Dadant
ones.
