Alternative to Langstroth Hive Gaining Acceptance in Africa www.apitherapynews.com Please Just Show Me the Money, Honey By Ted Keenan, Financial Mail (South Africa), 2/3/2006 Challenging the status quo is never easy. Crispin Jackson found this out the hard way when he developed a beehive that would improve on the mighty Langstroth hive - invented in 1853 by the Rev LL Langstroth and the standard hive of beekeepers around the world. Jackson's design is called the Jackson Horizontal Hive (JHH) and has attracted global recognition as an alternative to the Langstroth. However, the commercial beekeeping industry has been slow to accept it, preferring to stick with conventional standards for producing and extracting honey. Rather than confront the traditional industry head-on, Jackson has shifted his focus to rural beekeepers and is enjoying growing acceptance from African communities. . . -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l for rules, FAQ and other info ---
