This appears to be a success story, but a success in getting bees to draw 
5.2 mm cells, not 4.9mm.

Pretty well all the natural comb I find in the wild where I live averages 
around 5.2mm.

Also, the article states,

"Seeing that our country was founded upon and originally used 4.83mm cell 
sizing...".

Really?
