Bee Space to Bee Hive

The English book 'Bee Space to Bee Hive', written by Andrew Gibb and Ann Harman, provides a fascinating insight into how beehives, beekeeping equipment and beekeeping methods have developed throughout the centuries. The prolonged observation by Revd LL Langstroth enabled the discovery of the importance of bee space. After this discovery, the ingenuity of many beekeepers has solved countless problems related to colony management. The evolution of ideas and creations by many well-known individuals has brought us to the present day. Perhaps various methods and names are familiar to you, but you may not yet know the significance these names hold. Names such as Warré, Pagden, Snelgrove, Hoffman and Manley are examples of this.
