Founder of commercial beekeeping
Petro Prokopovych (1775–1850, Ukrainian: Петро Прокопович) was a Ukrainian beekeeper who made revolutionary contributions to the practice.[1][2][3][4] They include the founding of commercial beekeeping and the invention of the first movable frame hive.[5] He introduced novelties in traditional beekeeping that allowed great progress in the practice. Among his most important inventions was a hive frame in a separate honey chamber of his beehive. He also invented a crude queen excluder between brood and honey chambers.[6][7] Petro Prokopovych was also the first to ever model a 'bee beard' after delineating and calculating 'bee swarm behaviour", inspiring students for generations.[8]
