Correction - Sweinty Langstroth bee space is TOP

[Hombre]

Poly Hive,

I can't seem to find the original thread where we recently disagreed regarding Sweinty Langstroth bee space. You said it was top bee space and I was adamant that it was not.

You were gracious and let me have the day. I, hopefully being equally gracious, apologise and have to admit that I was very very wrong.

Returning to the scene of the crime, so to speak, I stood on my tippy toes and gandered over the edge of a Sweinty Langstroth brood box full of frames and although it doesn't look like much (big boxes), there is definitely top bee space there. I should have known at the time I suppose, as it isn't your style to mislead and you have a good record for being very accurate.

Is that better than saying you have a very good record for being accurate? Just because you were right and I was wrong, doesn't actually entitle you to two verys.

Sorted - I'm off to eat my humble pie with a big spoon

We don't have to be right every time folks, but just big enough to put the record straight when we find that we are wrong.

Very generous of you Hombre.

I did actually phone Swienty.

I looked in the top of a stack of Chris B's boxes.

Makes you wonder what else I didn't notice properly last year?

But let's not dwell on that possibility.

If in doubt check it out.

I knew that the German Langstroth poly is TBS, timber Lang world wide is TBS so why should Swienty change it? I thought that highly unlikely so phoned them.
