<< Do you have a website/drawings or anything related to this long deep hive?
 I've found nothing like it in Canada. Do you have the name of the UK
 manufacturer? >>

Robin Dartington the inventor of the LD Hive that bears his name has written
a book describing its use and including dimensioned diagrams and component
lists. It is entitled Equipment for New Beekeeping and the ISBN is 0905652 51
7.  I expect your library could get it for you.

Stamfordham Ltd manufacture the hive in kit form in the UK. I was chatting to
the proprietor, Mike Lewis at the National Honey Show last year and I think
he said the price was about 160GBP but my memory could be faulty as I do not
have his catalogue to hand.
