[edit] re: recent edits
Anon [[user:]] recently made this edit, adding some history about bee space research. I have temporarily reverted the edit. While I have not yet been able to verify the claims made in the edit, I have not been able to disprove them either. However, I am not sure that they are completely appropriate to this article which is, after all, specifically about the Langstroth hive, not the general concept of bee space.
There are also style problems. If we ultimately decide that the content does have a place in this article, it should not be in the opening paragraph. As added, it disrupts the readability of the article and makes it harder for someone unfamiliar with the topic to understand what a Langstroth hive is. Rossami (talk) 06:57, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

- I give you any help you need to verify the subject.
>However, I am not sure that they are completely appropriate to this article, which is, after all, specifically about the Langstroth hive, not the general concept of bee space.
- Without the Jan Dzierzon’s innovations would not be the Langstroth hive. This after all is the truth. I think the article should be edited with this consideration. I mean the spaces in modern hive cannot be put under one topic and named “beespace”. Finally, it should be clarified when and who introduced the spaces concepts.
>There are also style problems.
- It could be. English is not my native language; however this is minor problem if the issue is clarifying historical truth.
>If we ultimately decide that the content does have a place in this article, it should not be in the opening paragraph.
- I hope the opening paragraph will be with accordance to objective picture. Studding the beekeeping history I met many subjective attempts.
>As added, it disrupts the readability of the article and makes it harder for someone unfamiliar with the topic to understand what a Langstroth hive is.
- Well, readability is one think, it is important, but it should not be reason to mix technical and historical facts. This is what I found in literature. The “bee space” term is used without sense. There are more than one distances in hive, though they goes mainly from one honeybee perception.
Best regards, Andrew PS. I will return to this discussion page for correspondence.
Because I did not get answer for longer then week I feel free to reedit the article according to my best knowledge and objectivity. Andrew
