Bee Space to Beehive

The English-language book 'Bee Space to Bee Hive', written by Andrew Gibb and Ann Harman, offers a fascinating insight into how beehives, beekeeping equipment and beekeeping methods have evolved over the centuries. The sustained observations of Rev. L. L. Langstroth made the discovery of the importance of bee space possible. Following this discovery, the ingenuity of many beekeepers has solved countless problems related to colony management. The evolution of ideas and innovations by many well-known figures has brought us to the present day. Various methods and names may be familiar to you, but you may not yet know the significance those names carry. Names such as Warré, Pagden, Snelgrove, Hoffman and Manley are examples.
