Welcome to the forum. I do not know where in the world you are located. You will probably have to make it your self or have someone build it unless of course you are in Europe.
Bee sure to update your profile.

Thank you for your reply.

I googled these keywords (modified European long hive) to get more pictures.  Search result: "More images for modified European long hive" section.  Looks like these hives are not homemade hives.

Do you know who is a manufacturer of these hives here in the U.S.?

Here in north FL Hives and More would probably make them for you. Skip makes real nice hives from cypress.

I have already contacted two wood shops and they asked me a detailed plan or an unassembled hive from a manufacturer.
They need it,  because designer of this hive is very complicated: triple walls, "attic", boards with ventilation holes, dividers and so on.

I find that the amount you are willing to pay for a Modified European Long Hive, is directly proportional to finding someone willing to make you one, no matter where you are. I'll make you one if you pay enough.

I had to look hard to figure out where Senderburg is from, Denmark.
Could not tell if they would ship over seas.

Michael Bush,
Unfortunately, your link is not about the modified European long hive with standard Deep (9-1/8" or 9-3/16") frames.
See the very first four pictures from the "More images for modified European long hive" section of Google Search.

I remember see a article somewhere, if I remember right a guy in California was building them, and he was calling it a coffin hive. You might try Googling that.

Thanks. Usually coffin hives are very simple: single-wall hives with a flat roof and without "attic" - hard to  provide an adequate ventilation.
