Bee Behavior
Much has been learned about bee behavior in recent times. LLÂ Langstroth, sometimes referred to as the 'Father of Beekeeping', discovered the principle of the 'bee-space'. He found that bees will usually fill gaps less than ¼ inch wide with propolis and larger than three eighths of an inch with comb. This had the effect of making the removal of combs built into frames very difficult.
