Vignette-Size Matters

Lorenzo Lorraine Langstoth* located the bees passing space Three-eights of an inch,would gove them grace; The world widely used this discovery and copied his patent too easily- Lorenzo found 'fame' but fortune was not to be. In 1851 this American clergyman * made the discovery that made honey a viable commercial food source.

What a shame that people who make such discoveries often don't reap the financial rewards. I wonder who invented "the wheel." Was it a troglodite, Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon? Maybe he had some nice honey to slurp on as his only reward. Very informative and quite a creative title, Brian. Best wishes, Carolyn
