Talk:Langstroth hive

message: I support the edit made\mentioned below.
I make beehive woodenware for a living and have studied many different "langstroth" designs as well as researched and consulted with instructors and beekepers with more than 45 years personal experience.
ALL the above brings me to the conclusion that yes, the accepted "industry standard" for "bee space" is ⅜ inch with a ¼" minimum to ½" maximum.
Various honey bee species can range slightly in size themselves, some can easily work with ¼" while some are more comfortable with ½", but most all honey bees do just fine with ⅜.
I do feel that it's important to the article to include information about "bee space" because that is a vital part of langstroth component construction. However, I also agree that perhaps it should just be mentioned in the opening paragraph, with further details given in a subcategory below.
As this is my first time being involved in editing Wikipedia in any manner, I will leave this comment but refrain from editing the main article at this time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrFixitNC (talk • contribs) 07:22, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

message: This article is about movable-frame beehives, which Langstroth pioneered. They can indeed be called Langstroth hives. But they don't all have Langstroth frames in them - this is a specific dimension of frame, again pioneered by Langstroth. In ordinary discourse, over most of the world at any rate, a "Langstroth hive" refers to a hive with that specific dimension of frame. Other movable frame sizes include that Dadant, British National, etc, see https://beekeepingforum.co.uk/threads/a-list-of-beehive-sizes-and-dimensions.856/. I suggest that it will be appropriate to rename this article to Movable-frame beehive, and that the article Langstroth hive should offer disambiguation between Movable-frame beehive and Hive frame. Both pages will need a little copyediting to bring them into line. Does anyone have any objections, or refinements? Richard Keatinge (talk) 17:00, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

message: Some copy editing in the propolis article led me to bee space, which redirected to the "Bee space" section of this article. In my view, the "History" section offers a concise description of bee space in its second paragraph. I believe a reader clicking a bee space link will be better served by landing on that section, as it now stands. 
Putting this article's "Bee space" section in better order and fixing the redirect are on my to-do list, with an indeterminate priority. One benefit of some delay is the opportunity for seeing other editors' insight and suggestions. Have at it, folks! Just plain Bill (talk) 22:18, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
