R.O.B. Manley
Robert "Bert" Orlando Beater Manley (1888–1978) was a British Beekeeper, an authority on commercial honey farming and developer of the popular Manley moveable frame hives and frame systems.〔 〕
==Achievements==
In 1914 a parasite, Acarapis woodi that originated on the Isle of Wight extended over the UK devastating all the native bees and only the Apis mellifera carnica and Apis mellifera ligustica colonies survived. Whilst Brother Adam travelled to Turkey to find substitutes for the native bees for the first Buckfast strain, (a very productive bee resistant to the parasite), R.O.B. Manley began breeding Italian bees and the pair quickly became the most influential bee-keepers in Britain, with Brother Adam concentrating on a breeding programme and Manley developing modern commercial honey farming methods.
In 1948 R.O.B. Manley became the first man to manage 1000 colonies in England, having kept bees through the fine summers of the 1920s and 1930s.( I believe A W Gale of Marlborough at his height in the 1940s ran 2000+ hives)
As well as being the first man to manage 1000 colonies, inventing the Manley frame system (still in common use today), R.O.B. Manley is the source of the practise of feeding sugar to bees in its modern form, stating that "all hives that have been to the moors should be fed 10lb sugar as a precaution against dysentery caused by long confinement during severe winters". This advice is not found in earlier publications (A. Pettigrew 1870, Rev Thomas WM Cowan 1881). Manley adds that while heather honey was not suitable as winter food during periods of confinement, he 'knew of nothing better to encourage a rapid spring build-up'.
