    Almost no discoveries are made by one person. A great discovery is useless
unless it's use is described and publicized. Langstroth explained how to use the
bee space and changed beekeeping.
    It is convenient to say that Langstroth discovered the bee space and that
Columbus discovered America. Btu. you are correct we should always remember on
whose shoulders they were standing.
